Count me in Had i wont be drinking at xmas or new year or anytime soon. I will take the bottle of wine to my daughters and soft drink for me. I dont need to pour poison down my throat. Someone said on another thread "would you drink bleach" knowing how harmful it is, well a lot like al really.

Count me in, too. AL really has never done me any favors, in fact it nearly took away everything that I hold dear. It is not worth it. A dam drink is not going to take one more day of MY life!
Drinking AL is not living, it's dying... I will be right here with you! Byrdie

I will not be drinking over the Christmas Holiday. Al has not done one single posative thing for me. I do not wish to include it in this spevial time.

Joining in Hadit! I did it two years ago and it was great - I wish I didn't drink the bottle that I got as a gift as it has taken me two years to get back here - regift everyone, please!
I am having a sober Christmas and start to 2014- happy to be supported and to support everyone with a similar plan...

Byrdie, Love your quote. No its not living, it is just living hell!!! thanks. I am supposed to be at a Christmas breakup this pm but decided to cancel. There is just sooo much al around this time of the year! Every pub and caf? I go past, are full of drinkers. Wished I could drink normal, but that ain't going to happen......I am an alcoholic!!:nutso::nutso:

Thanks SL. Just one slip, thats all it takes and we are back where we started!!!! I am taking AB so that helps, but the struggle is relentless. Just ODAT here in this neck of the woods!!:wave::wave:

Might go and see a movie New Years Eve. I just hate NYE parties, just drink myself stupid and can never remember a thing.
