sometimes you shouldn’t say anything if you don’t have something nice to say. This is one of those times. A person trying to give hope to someone on Christmas Eve who may be struggling with a similar situation isn’t a bad thing by any means. I know you probably thought it was witty but it wasn’t. Kind of pathetic actually

Here's another who - finally - broke the chain. Thanks to my long-suffering wife, my reason to exist. It can be done. Good job and good luck, friend.

Yeah I spent Christmas a couple years ago in detox going through withdrawals throwing up nonstop and only thing I could stomach for a week was Ensure.

Fast forward and life’s gotten better for sure. Merry Xmas and my advice is just stay plugged into the community. I have waaaaaay more friends now than ever to the point I can’t go anywhere without running into people and keeps me from doing all the things I was doing

This thread is so good. Keep up the good work baws.

I was just thinking how nice it is to wake up before everyone on Christmas morning with a cup of coffee and "feeling good", not hungover.


Life is great sober brother.

I have a good buddy who's rock bottom wasn't a low as yours but has a similar story to tell. I think he's 2 or 3 years sober now. I haven't gotten a rambling late night drunk phone call from him in a long time.

Congratulations on your sobriety. May you continue that way for the rest of your life.

Merry Christmas, enjoy your blessings
