Is anyone else nervous about the holidays ?
Not really.
Why are you nervous?
Just a lot of gatherings in my family can circle around drinking
That's a totally acceptable reason. You can bring 0% alcohol beers and sparkling water with you. Introduce your family.
If necessary send me a DM and I'll help talk you out of drinking. Get a list of people you can call.
Definitely have some numbers on speed dial if you get itchy. By the time you talk to someone those cravings will change. That's one reason sponsors are so great.
I'd really recommend finding some other ladies to call but definitely get some numbers. Even calling a random stranger is much better than trying to do it alone.
Thank you for the advice. It'll try to think thru who I can call
Yeah, no problem! I've been through treatment three times so I could practically run groups now. Just passing along what professionals have told me.
God isπ¦
No. We canclled it. Sucks I dont get to see my family but I get the day off so Ill enjoy a day at my art table!
You're an artist? What do you like to work with? I'm not great but it's a hobby of mine and a great release or escape for me.
