that today is my 6th sober Christmas although as a sober adult, it has lost much of its appeal
that although I am not at all religous, I respect the religous traditions practiced by others
that I felt no guilt staying home last night while my partner and his Mom went to midnight Mass
for the compassion I sorta felt yesterday when we had a relapser appear drunk at the 6:30am meeting; he was obnoxious and disrupted the last few minutes of the meeting, but we did our best to ignore it. He has been a regular attendee of that meeting for nearly 2 years.

Hola dAAve,

That's sad about the drunk person at the meeting. I suppose that he knew to be at the meeting even drunk. It's a hard time of year for many reasons. Hope that you have a nice day.
Resentment is our biggest offender. We need to be shown this through others actions sometimes--be it sad for the relapser.
Merry Christmas, friend.
Merry Christmas Daave.
I think it way cool when people go over the top. But not so sure I want to be the neighbor.
Cool video. Thank God for tradition three. Happy holidays dAAve. Keep coming back.
Merry festive bah humbug, baby.
I bet the relapser felt great later on... There but the Grace of HP... He relapses so we don't have to.
Pass the mince pies!
Enjoy the 12 days of Christmas, dAAve!
