It is a battle to keep my chin up. And hence, I am on show determined not to show I'm down.

It's all very exhausting

THIS SUMS UP EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS. My Dad is coming to visit for my birthday in a couple weeks... He has been my biggest motivator throughout getting clean. (He is a recovering addict). I am nervous about seeing him bc the last time he was here, it was a disaster (this was before I got clean) so I know he will be evaluating my sobriety in a way.
