Hi. Yes I can relate to your difficulties. I have 11 months sober and this is my first sober holiday. Right before Thanksgiving I found myself picking up wine bottles and reading the labels. Then I noticed that alcohol is freaking sold everywhere. My family do not get drunk but they drink during holidays and at dinner. I feel stressed and sad then I feel guilty because I should be grateful and happy like all the "normal" yahoos. Even in AA I was annoyed because all the meeting topics were about gratitude geeze! I started self medicating when I was 14, so I have few coping skills. I try to limit my visits to a small amount of time and remember that it's only 24 hrs.

Peace,

Tnt
