Because Xmas comes only once a year it is much harder to form habits, much harder to believe that being sober will be OK, much harder to imagine how you will cope on not just Xmas day but right through till new year and beyond.
Play the movie forward is a massive tool in my toolbox. I don’t wait until a few days before, no I start right now. If there is anything I am worried about I can start asking for advice and support. Start stocking up on new ideas, new drinks combos, sober treat ideas.
Never take your eyes off why your doing this. Moderation Mary is not your friend she’s right up there with Sabotage Sal and F#@k it Freda. All three will try and bring you down. So stay strong and walk confidently in your sober shoes.
