Christmas can be especially hard for some people.If you are recovering it can be even harder I think.Always remember a relapse happens long before the first drink or drug. I f you are isolating over the Christmas season get to a meeting or call a friend or your sponsor. It could save your life. I shared this because I have found myself isolating and feeling lonely ovet this holiday season and then I remembered what I was taught about relapse.I don't need to feel sorry for myself. I need to look at how much I have to be grateful for.

Thank you for sharing that's so true they say the opposite of addiction is connection
I understand exactly how you feel. I've been going through the ringer in my personal life and it just happens to be xmas. Some days I dont even want to get out of bed. But I have to. Its not about motivation, its about discipline. Do it even if you think you are gonna hate it. Talk to someone. Get out of the house. Call your sponser. Heck, call your sponsee. Anyone who can hear you and talk.
It could mean the difference between life and death
