This is a tough time of year for me. [View all]

My mom died in early December a bunch of yers ago. So I don't really look forward to Christmas. And now that I'm not drinking, I sort of dread parties. I'm somewhat of an introvert, so drinking helped me loosen up around people. I've been sober for a little over four years, and honestly can't wait for the holiday season to be over.
