I have been trying to stop drinking for a while now, and I was going fairly steady on. But on Christmas eve, I fell to the overbearing peer pressure and felt like shit all Christmas. I've grown to hate how ingrained alcohol is to this holiday in so many places, you can't get away from it unless you have the restraint of a saint.
You've got almost a whole year to prepare for next christmas. You got this.
I specially struggle with the social pressure and anxiety, if you dont pick up a drink people start treating you like a weird bug. Also doesn't help that being sober makes you realize how boring and shallow the people around you are, which leads me to either drink or leave reunions early.
Yeah, It's a loss either way, if I drink, I feel bad and depressed, but if I don't drink, realizing that most of the company I frequent are boring as hell makes me feel bad and depressed. It's sobering (pun intended).
