**So the Holiday's Have Returned upon us**

[NautyOne]

Of, course.......Yes, they are here again.......The most Wonderful or the Most Dreaded time of the year> for many staying sober during these times is very difficult.  I have seen a pattern that holidays and relapse are like bread and butter.......I hope we all stay strong thru one of the most difficult holiday seasons we have seen in many years.  Please don't give into the evil temptation.  The money you will spend for your own selfish desire can be given to those who are truly less fortunate.  Think twice....if your even considering the choice.

Wishing you all peace & strength

Many of us here have been clean for several days, months, many months and years.
This time of year is hard on alot of people, different reasons for some, and different reasons for others.
Whatever, it seems that this is the time to party, or drown your sorrows, or just to feel numb etc.

If you are struggling to stay clean and sober, don't give in, get on here and post!!!!!!
Call someone talk it out if you have to.

Thanks nauty for the reminder....................Stay strong everyone and enjoy your holidays!!!!!!!

I totally agree with everything you said.  Esp. the Zip it up part.  I pray for all of the "clean" folks out here......the ones who have worked very hard to achieve, and have made it through the hell, and for all who are struggling to make it......I speak only from personal experience and observation.

tripgrl......Please dont' forget to take that bag of goodies out of he turkey before you put it in the oven......I hate when that happens.......

Happy thanksgiving to all......

luv,

Very Good!  It's always easy for the person who is not on anything to say dont do that.
They think it's so easy not to do so. They have no idea how hard it is to control what we do. intel They take a walk in our shoes! So for those who have not done so, It's better to

Your not a pooper.......I dislike them very much so myself.  I think if I had kids it would be different.  I believe most of the Holidays are for "the kiddo's"

I agree.  for the first time this year our Los Angeles turkey dinner give away.......people were lined up around the the block......some waiting as much as 24 hours......thats unheard of in the history this yearly event.......these are hard working people down on their luck..........it very sad......

Sorry, mikie.......I hope it gets betta for you.  I know you've been through a lot !!!

Take care, darlin
luv,
