Day 100 for me, and you and me and all of us out here in the sober blogosphere are going to soldier on through this holiday season. Let's have a contest and see which one of us is the first to have a drinking friend approach us after the new year to ask us how we did it.Kary Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674442468925628974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-10509047623061525292011-12-22T19:28:34.518+13:002011-12-22T19:28:34.518+13:00Yeah it will be a test of patience and just brutal...Yeah it will be a test of patience and just brutal listening skills once they get a few drinks into them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590086429820461738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-47091896950453771232011-12-22T07:45:38.451+13:002011-12-22T07:45:38.451+13:00This will be my first sober holiday.

I've never had to actually deal with them before. Things feel better now and I bet you can get to that place too. The one thing that keeps me going is how miserable I was this time last year when I was drinking heavily. That was a very unmerry christmas. Good luck to you!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125499557380737134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-68068323650572292162011-12-22T01:48:51.221+13:002011-12-22T01:48:51.221+13:00Good luck Mrs D.

There are no days off if you are an alcoholic.<br /><br />I expect you have already thought of this, but so much food/chocolate etc at this time of year has alcohol in it. Don't be deceived into thinking it doesn't count. If in doubt avoid it. The odd bit taken unwittingly and accidentally probably won't do any harm, but don't let your ism talk you into thinking that liqueur chocs and sherry trifle etc don't count.<br /><br />Did you read Mr Sponsor Pants guide to surviving the holidays?<br /><br />http://mrsponsorpants.typepad.com/mr_sponsorpants/2011/11/its-that-time-of-year-again-mr-sponsorpants-annual-sober-holiday-survival-guide.html<br /><br />November 28th if the link doesn't work. Look forward to reading about how well you did after the holidays.DaisyAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680034482022415405noreply@blogger.com
