Marianna that's the holidays are hard.
And you are right we got this.
Early on in my sobriety I looked at holidays as a hard thing to go through. Now I look at him as just another day with a little bit of celebration in it. It makes it easier for me and it helped me get through the hard time.

Yeah I'm just going to stay away from it.. and go to meetings. I can't stand holidays.. I have to cut off the toxic environment that will send me into wanting to numb the pain.

Meetings always help. You can message me if it gets too hard! Numbing is just a temporary fix. It’s never worth it.

Hello Marianna. You’re right. It’s hard the first couple years but as time passes I notice the difference. I stayed away from everything and everyone because they all drank for the holidays. I’m glad I stopped and happy. Now the holidays are the same just without drinking. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I agree 
%. I'm so use to working on the major holidays. It feels weird not doing so. However I'll be in meetings and helping out serving Thanksgiving meals at my AA center.
