Is everyone ready for the holidays?

Do you have a battle plan for staying clean? I think being prepared is the best way to come out of it unscathed. I've learned a few tricks like having an exit strategy for attending parties. Or avoiding them when possible. Having a glass of soda water or pop in youR hand so people won't bug you about not drinking. Just those two thing work wonders.

Any tricks you use and would like to share?

1. If you add something a little distasteful such as extra lemon

you can nurse your soda longer. Fewer refills as a result

2. I usually put a slice of lime in it

So it looks like a gin & tonic.

3. Fortunately my family knows i am a non drinker

especially this past 4 years. It helps that my niece has been a vegetarian for 15 years.

4. I keep attending meetings

We all support each other.

5. I attend SMART meetings every Saturday

Via Zoom. Good group of people. Helps me stay grounded.
