Congrats Junebug! I feel your pain for sure. I am only on my 10th day, but heck, I made it thru 2 weekends so I'm feeling good about that. I haven't allowed myself to be around drinkers and I really don't think I am ready for that. I hope that you are able to get thru the holidays without incident and I hope you can find a buddy to go to parties and such with who is a non-drinker and can help you steer clear of uncomfortable situations and keep your mind off not drinking and focus on really enjoying the company of your friends and family. Just think how wonderful it will be to actually have MEMORIES of your times of celebration! :-)

Congratulations Junebug! Wow... a whole month

plus having the courage to look for a new job. I'm with Josie, I hope you have rewarded yourself for these milestones. I do wonder how you (and others) reward yourself for making progress. I'm just used to rewarding myself with a drink or 2 or 6. Any alternative suggestions that you actually have done for yourself?

June,

One month is a great milestone! Don't forget to do something nice for yourself!

The holidays can be difficult, but being prepared can help you through those tough situations!

Do decline if your not comfortable

Host your own soiree in your own comfort zone

Be the designated driver

You feel better and you are doing a great job, keep it up!

Hi everyone

just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? have been looking for a new job in a more positive environment and hopefully not surrounded my alcohol. Its really trying now that the holiday is around. my family is big on drinking and well im nervous! plus all my friends are having Xmas parties and im expected to be there but its really difficult for me to be around people who are partying and im not. i get really awkward and anxious!i usually make up excuses to not go so i don't put myself in theres situations. anyhow have been sober now for i believe a month. i am feeling good. not being hungover in the morning and saying the big UH-OH to my self is really great!~ i am trying to deal with my emotional issues that i have been hiding from with alcohol,. its hard but all worth it! i hope everyone is doing great and know that they have support here :)
