Survived the family Christmas do
It’s day 16. Just had my extended family get together. Always a boozy affair. I’ve been dreading it tbh. A few times (even today) I was tempted to drink. But I drove, told everyone I had work early and had a couple Guinness zeros. No ‘why aren’t you drinking’ pushback which was a pleasant surprise. A little disappointment that I wasn’t boozing but it was soon forgotten. And I actually had a great time. Now really proud of myself and feeling the sober power. I’ve ducked out of a few socials so far and this was the first. Got a housewarming Saturday which I’m now not dreading. Anyhow, just wanted to post something positive. It can be done. IWNDWYT.
