Lovely to read your posts CJ winker and rags.
would like to add my wee bit if I may.
This was my 4th sober Christmas and it is a joy to report that I never considered at any point in the day, either having alcohol or not having it.
I didnt have any great plans about how I would get through the day sober or what the trials of the day would be. I feel, for what is normally a day I have to prepare well in advance for, it came and went peacefully.
I never thought I would be able to say that!
I always thought it would be tough for me. I guess I was lucky the EAF just didnt trouble me this year. I was surrounded by booze and I just never brought it into the equation, it was just not part of my day.
What a really nice revelation.

love to all, and to those who had a tough time with the EAF this year, look ahead not back, next year could be so different for you.
The sober life that I am enjoying just gets better and better

Lovely post Sandy!

$\:)/$

I've just done my 3rd sober Christmas and I haven't yet achieved the same calm attitude that you have, although I am getting reasonably close. It has always been the same for me - the lead up to a particular milestone or occasion is harder than the actual day itself.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they have been given, rather than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It is a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." - Muhammad Ali / Adidas

I went to the Christmas Pantomime yesterday and it was wonderful, lots of jokes for kids and adults.

Another first, a show at a theatre without pre, mid and after booze $\:)/$
