Sober Holiday Checklist:
We drove ourselves,
our sponsors are following quietly behind
and HP is looking over our shoulder.
We can do this!
(140)
The Holidays can present an especially dificult time for those folks in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. It's suggested that we always drive ourselves so we can leave if we grow uncomfortable. Take a sober friend, remember to pray and have faith. And, if after all those preparations, you still don't feel comfortable going to Holiday parties where there will be drinking, you can ALWAYS find a sober gathering of friends in AA. Hit a meeting and ask around! The Holidays can be some of the best, most sober times in our lives, even as recovering alcoholics.

Yeah. It is a difficult time for those fighting the fight... and for those who feel they must watch over them, just hoping they get through.
Those sober parties are great. Hope that you have a Merry Christmas!
Good MM this week. Hope your holiday season is wonderful.
