Hello Scarlet...
I have looked through alot of the posts here to see that some are very worried about Christmas & new years.
Staying sober will be a challenge for most of us new members.
But what we must keep in mind is that staying clean and sober is a life long fight...
Yes i know it gets better with time but we must remember that these days coming up are no different than today or yesterday.
If you said no once then you can do it again.
Many of us will be around drinks because we will be at party's, family, friends...
But our minds have been made up to stay clean so whatever someone else does is there doing.
You and I can not fall for the trap...
We must look at alcohol as a loaded gun....
Don't play with it and it wont go off.
Drinking is not a joke for us because we know that we have a problem.
Cutting down or saying I will have just one is very dangerous....
We must remember that we are in a battle to stay clean.
Some days it will not be easy..
Some days it will be easy...
But everyday must have the same outcome...
The same ending....
Victory, Another day fresh without alcohol...
You will love yourself for it...
And others will too.
We are very special to someone and they want the best for us...
We want the best for ourselfs...
We can not afford to throw it all away for a drink.
We must stand our ground and do it.
For me I cant drink...
For me its not possible because if I drink on Christmas how the heck will I be able to stay clean on new years ? Or any other special day that the family gets together ?
I love Christmas but I'm not going to drink because its a holiday or because someone tells me to have a drink.
My battle is more important than that.....
Its more important than a holiday.
More important than a so called friend...
Its the most important thing in the world for me...
Is it the most important thing in the world for you ?
That is the question that you must ask yourself...
Whats REALLY important ?
What really matters ?
Who's life is this anyways ?
If I'm in control then why must i drink ?
And if I'm not in control, then i must get in control.
Just remember that we are solders at war...
Our battle is to be alcohol free...
And our weapon is our faith...
We must walk by faith and not by sight...
Christmas is a good thing....
Give yourself the best present ever...
Give yourself a clean fresh life....
And Have A Very Merry Christmas.
