Upcoming Holidays~~~~~~~

[dominosarah]

Holiday time is fast approaching and can be full of stress and triggers.  We see relapses happen during this time.  The first year i was clean i was told by a very wise person to hit the meetings real heavy and that is what i did.  There are office parties and family gatherings.....our minds can play some real games with us during this time.  For some of us money is tight and that causes stress or the family gatherings have alcohol and people will make comments to you about not drinking. Some may not know you are no longer using and will have a "gift" for you.  Pick and chose where you go and surround yourself with others who share and support you in your recovery.  Your sobriety/clean time should always be the number 1 priority.  Protect it with your life........sara and gnarly

We would also both like to wish all of you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.  We all have so much to be thankful for~~~~~~

Nice to see a familiar name on here.  You too have a Happy Thanksgiving (even though ours is done up here in Canada) There'll be no turkey but i'm gonna enjoy the Football.
