I've made it over 11 years.

I think staying sober is one of the hardest things to be able to do in life. You should be proud of yourself staying on the right path and resisting the temptation.

The holidays tend to make me uptight and thirsty a bit even after over 12 years of continuous sobriety... But when I ride the emotions out and reflect on my,ahem-'progress' I KNOW I am better off having not taken a drink today. What sounds glorious and relaxing to a normal person will have me right back to self-destruction and insanity if I choose to indulge.So,yeah-you are not alone."this too shall pass"

@dubkebab You just described me perfectly. And 12 years?? Thats such an incredible accomplishment.

@EmmyG1205 well,that last trip to the county slammer turned out to be the charm for me,heh heh. But seriously,I have achieved quite a bit in these last few years. Thanks for talking about this here,I has getting a bit riled at some of our dinner guests today.hmph-people.

I feel you. Just try to remember what comes after that glass of wine. Then after the next and the next.

Do you go to meetings?

This time of year seems to be the worst for us who suffer from anxiety and etc.
You must just try taking every moment minute after minute and etc.
Try being around / talking to friends and etc who you are close too, who will be able to make you feel better.

I wish you well🌹

Hang in there sister, one day at a time. Or one hour at a time, or 1 minute at a time.
