This is the first Christmas Eve I have ever been sober since i was a teen, good?!
Answers: No, it is not good. Drinkers supposed to drink until they die drunk. Just the way it is. This sobriety thing is making no sense for a booze hound. I want to be creamated and my ashed put into a gallon jug of Chivas or Johnny Walker Black. Out in my son's mantlepiece. It will warn him. He doesn't drink or smoke. He said that I caused him to be that way. Then, i would seem, I really one good thing?
The American Medical Association and the World Health Organization have identified alcoholism as a disease...just like cancer or diabetes. It's a very complex disease/mental illness. It involves the whole "family system". The whole family will need to learn about the disease of alcoholism. It's a sad and tragic disease, and only the alcoholic can choose not to drink...but those friends and families of the alcoholic must learn about the disease (perhaps by attending al-anon) lest they engage in behaviors that might reinforce the alcoholism (like trying to control the outcome of the alcoholics life consequences). I encourage you to find a few local al-anon meetings in your area and attend. It's very informative about the topic. There are lots and lots of meetings everywhere. It's amazing. Because alcoholism is such a huge problem. Fortunately, lots of AA meetings are very helpful to alcoholics.
God bless, and merry Christmas.
You probably drank way too much, your brain cells are not functioning as they should. You need a couple of more years of soberity. Good luck..

This is very good for you. Please, do not falter now
you can be an even better example to your son by quitting drinking and staying sober, it is worth it
If you consider being a horrible role model for your son a good thing I suppose that could be considered a positive thing about being a booze hound for his entire life.
