Happy Thanksgiving

A sober Thanksgiving. This is a first for me but one that I am looking forward to. When I think about the fact that I will not be drinking this year, I do feel a momentary pang of sadness but then I take a deep breath and remember the big picture. Why I am doing this, how much better I feel overall, what I want my life to look like in the next 5 years, how I have already experienced many fun social occasions without alcohol and this one will no doubt be the same. These kind of thoughts and rationalizations help me to feel excited about the day ahead as opposed to just getting me through the day.

What helps you during the holidays? How do you plan for the day?
