Here come the Holidays!!!

Normally, this would be a difficult stretch for me. I hate going to parties where I don't know many people, and used to drink to help me relax. But this pandemic is a blessing in disguise. I won't have to deal with it this year. I'll sure miss seeing family, but staying sober will be all that much easier. How about you folks?

is my worst time of year.

My hardest drinking was always around Christmas. I associate booze with the sound of Christmas carols, lights, smells, even Christmas specials. I used to love Christmas. Not so much anymore.
