My holidays were great! It's the after effect I have to worry about, now that I've learned to actually get through these times without drinking.
I went to one New Year's Eve party and one open house. I stayed at the party less than an hour, and was happy to go home and oversee my teenage daughter's NYE party. Now, that was tough, but they had fun and no damage done.
At the open house I was fine and stayed under an hour.
I just don't want to be tempted. I was so afraid at the NYE party that I would pick up someone else's drink! Learn to hold on to your own glass was what I learned.
This is the third Christmas out of five (two in a row) that I've been successful, but the other two times I stumbled, especially after the holidays, but it was the first year without the Antabuse so I'm really pleased. I have T and pdoc this week, so while that will be tough, it will help to keep me on the right track.
Here's to a great New Year! I'm very hopeful.
