hello bizi,i'm glad to hear that you had a good dinner,how was the concert? its fun to dress up nice,or maybe thats just a girl thing

wow bizi, my husband only puts on a jacket to go to funerals - not kidding

yeah katmae, maybe it is a girl thing, I like to get dressed up every once in a while. I'll probably get dressed up for an upcoming Christmas party. Hubby will probably wear jeans and a shirt. What can you do?

not much you can do,just got to love them for who and what they are,have a good night

The concert was nice.There was christmas music and childrens choir and sony landrith on guitar so hubby was happy. We went to the movies tonight. We saw the hobbit. It was fun with lots of action fighting though....getting my hair colored tomorrow, can't believe we leave for the holidays next friday...so much to do. Hope the weather stays nice and that we don't run into snow.1000 miles north, 2 day drive spend the night in memphis always fun...good BBQ! Have been rethinking my goal date of new years eve....I might start while on vacation....still mulling it over.

Bizi... my vote is NO. you made a commitment to yourself. i'd like to see you stick to the date you planned.

hit me now, but i was actually going to ask you if you'd consider continuing the abstinence, and doing new years alcohol free this year. i am concerned that on that day of double celebration you will be
1. perceive the alcohol as a reward for the abstinence period (feeds psychological attachment)
2. taking advantage of its an anxiolytic/disinhibiting effect, since you will be in social situations, i.e. as your pdoc says, you'd really be "using" it, not just enjoying it as a food complement.

you did plan this so, the other thing i was going to suggest was just to set yourself a limit, so that you don't drink more than 2 glasses spaced out, say 1 with dinner and 1 at midnight to toast.

it may seem ok to drink no holds barred for one day of the year, but the problem is when you have been abstinent due to a prior period of of "use/abuse" and you do go no holds barred... it's hard to reel yourself in again. real hard. i've was in this situation several years ago, and what happened was instead of just having champagne for new years i continued drinking after that... went straight into a bad binge. now that was me.

but, whatever you choose to do, do be very wary. it's going to be tricky.

already you are tempted to fall short of your commitment. please follow through that far, at least. please. doing that will be valuable in the long run. exercise steadfastness here. it will help you do it again. practice makes perfect.

Glad you enjoyed the concert. It sounds nice. I love children's choirs. Getting my hair colored always makes me feel so fresh. OK, judging by facebook and now you, I think it is official that I am the only one who hasn't seen the Hobbit. ha! Maybe if I had read the books it would have more appeal? As far as the desire to cut your goal a little early, it could just be the stress of the holidays talking. I mean, so much extra is required of us at this time of the year. But obviously only you know what is best for you.

Bizi

You have worked so hard. Hopefully whatever you decide will work
out.

Be really careful.
