This is what Holidays look like at my house

As I continue toward the road to Sobriety I'm finding myself looking at things a lot differently. Everyday I have been analysing my behaviors, thinking about the next week and trying to sort through the emotion of quitting drinking. Yesterday I had a knock on the door. I open it to see my neighbor with a wonderful bottle of wine with a pretty red bow. Merry Christmas she said and we talked for a while. Later that day I get a text from the neighbor behind us....I left something on the fence for you. Another beautiful and expensive bottle of wine. Last night we went to my Mother-n-laws house for Christmas eve dinner. We are opening presents and she goes outside and comes back in with not one but two baskets of goodies. In them was 3 bottles of wine, a wine aerator (which I have wanted for a long time....until now), 2 22oz bottles  of my husbands favorite beer and a six pack of Jubiale from my Husbands favorite brewery. OMG..............
I had to start giggling to myself. This is crazy. Here I am on the verge of a complete melt down because I want to quit and everyone is so generous and thoughtful and getting me what I have always wanted.
This is what my outside fridge and counter look like right now, this morning.......

In some ways this is a complete nightmare, but I have to say I have some wonderful friends. They don't know and won't know for a while that I'm gong to stop drinking. I know this gift giving is just because of the Holidays, I don't have friends dropping wine off at my house on a daily basis. Alcohol is always the easiest things for people to buy. Of course it is .....everyone likes wine and beer.
The sad part is I won't have much trouble polishing this off by Jan 2. Having a New Years get together will eliminate most and I'm sure I will help get rid of the rest.

Seven more days till Jan 2
