Well it's Christmas eve and the start of my first ever sober Christmas. Am feeling positive (at the moment) but a bit apprehensive. I haven't made a big thing about not drinking , to a lot of people - many don't realise that I'm aiming to stop for life, they just think i've cut down/ stopped briefly for a bit for health reasons. Therefore I will get quite a bit of pressure from people, I know - especially my husband to "at least have one on Christmas day of all days!?!" Since adulthood I don't think i've ever opened my Christmas presents sober either. We normally started drinking champagne straight after breakfast, or even had it with breakfast !!!! I have some good AF "Champagne" which I quite enjoy, so I think I will be having this, but as I say I am still apprehensive.... I decorated the Christmas tree this year sober and I did enjoy it - my 3 and 4 year old are big enough to help now and the really got stuck in and enjoyed it - I just did the upper branches they couldn't reach
Lots to do today - havnen't got my cards up yet, aim to go swimming if I can before leisure centre shuts for 2 days - any of you like to exercise on Christmas day? Also going to family Christmas mass tonight where the kids have to dress up. Will check back later.
