After a couple years of falling back into bad old habits, this Christmas I'm celebrating without the addition of alcohol. It can be difficult this time of year, surrounded by celebrations where the Christmas spirit is served from a bottle. Congratulations and good luck to anyone who deals with the same problem. ๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…

Fuck that, get Christmas out the way, then give up/reduce intake๐Ÿซ‚.

You do you, thanks ๐Ÿซ‚

Donโ€™t have the issue but love the sentiment. Have a great Christmas

Good for you man. I'm struggling because of bad food choices when stressed. So I'm trying to do the same but with food. Good luck. Not sure your drinking history but mine was pretty heavy. I've felt much better not drinking. You got this

A long & heavy history ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's going great so far, and I'm sure that will continue. You have a Merry Christmas too ๐Ÿค

You got this!

Thanks node! ๐Ÿซก๐ŸŽ„

You can do this! Itโ€™s just one day to get through and youโ€™ve already done so many days!

Congratulations on taking responsibility and being a man.

Alcohol is poison. Evil addictive poison.

A net negative for anyone who consumes it.

You'll be happier and healthier without

I don't know if I can agree with all that. Some people are fine with it. I've learned I'm not. I don't begrudge anyone who drinks, that's their choice. To not drink is mine. Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„

I got got nothing against anyone for consuming any drug.

Alcohol just has the worst impact on individuals, families, and society compared to anything else.

When I say taking responsibility and being a man, I mean, ignoring the social pressure and making the decision for yourself.

It's gonna look a lot different from the sober side. Good luck, stay strong. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

It certainly does & will. I had been sober for about a decade, then thought I could be a normal drinker again a couple years back. Not so much. I've been sober again for most of this year, so I've got a good headstart on Christmas.

Thanks cheese ๐Ÿค

Yeah, you got this shit homeslice. There's always Corny Chat if you get bored. ๐Ÿคฃ

Thatโ€™s real discipline. Holidays test habits more than willpower ever could. One day at a time is how lives actually change.

It's only hard once. Then you've done it
