Though the holidays are one of the worst times of the year for alcoholics - not just that everyone drinks, even those who normally don't, but even the TV ads are pushing liquor. I lost my mother in 2011 to an accident, but I joined AA in 2008, and so for the past several years one of my best AA friends has invited a group of us over for Christmas dinner. So everyone there, including her husband and sister-in-law, are in AA and sober. So we have a nice time and none of us have to worry about anyone drinking or suggesting it to the rest of us. Wishing you a Happy and sober New Year as well!
