I'm 251 days dry and a few weeks sober off weed. These past few days have been really hard. But I made it. And if you did, too, know you're not alone. I was the only one stone sober at Christmas dinner besides my kids. I haven't carved a drink that hard since I quit.
But I'm still here and still sober. This sucks, but the alternative sucks for different reasons.
Well played. Next Christmas should be easier. This was my 2nd dry Christmas and it wasn’t as difficult as the 1st.
Nicely done. 🙌
It was tough here too. I’ve been sober for multiple years, but my relationship with my family is very complicated, so it was two days of pretending and smiling, while dissociating to the max. I’m so drained, and while I was on the train back home earlier today all I thought about was grabbing a bottle once I arrived at the station. But I didn’t, as I know how it goes and it would almost certainly lead to spending NYE in the hospital detoxing. So I just went straight home and crawled into bed. Feel like I could sleep for an entire month.
251 days is incredible and making it through Christmas sober is such a huge achievement. It's tough but you're proving to yourself that you can handle it. Keep pushing forward, you're not alone in this. Stay strong.
