It is one of the hardest times of the year for alcoholics like myself trying to stay on the wagon. My strategy is not to go to any parties/gatherings etc. over the holiday season, my family know my weakness (there's a good euphemism) so no problem there. Basically I become a bit of a recluse for the months of December and January- a small price to pay for my sanity. Thanks I know this was posted last year, but the holiday time has come around again.

Thank you so much for this post. Sobriety is not easy, but it is one day at a time is the best way to approach it. Alcoholism treatment is an important step.
