Thanksgiving week used to be about stocking up on booze, hangovers, and blurred memories. Now it's about filling up on food made with love, binging Christmas movies, and making memories that I won't' forget by the morning.

It's Thanksgiving week here in the U.S., which for a lot of people means travel, eating lots of food, spending time with family that maybe we don't even want to be around, and an excuse to start drinking early in the morning because it's socially acceptable during a holiday right?

Everything holds true for us alcohol free people except for starting the drinking early and going all day long because we're f*cking badasses who don't need a substance to make it through anything.

❌ The in-laws who drive you nuts? Don't need alcohol for that!

❌ The preparing of the meal with sips (or gulps) of wine in between basting the turkey, making the mashed potatoes, and all the fixings? Don't need alcohol for that!

❌ Kids bouncing off the walls from all the overstimulation? Don't need alcohol for that!

❌ Relaxing when everyone is in bed, and you can finally sit your butt on the couch with a movie? Don't need alcohol for that either!

All these things that we could've sworn we wouldn't be able to get through without alcohol, yet here we are doing the damn thing without booze, and for myself at 5 years sober, not even thinking about alcohol.

If this is your first Thanksgiving, not drinking it may be uncomfortable, but give it a chance. It's not as bad as you think it will be. Hey, you may even have fun with the kids and family. Imagine that? 😉

🎂 And waking up the day after Thanksgiving without a hangover is icing on the cake.

Just thinking about those Fridays waking up with cotton mouth, nauseous, anxiety through the roof, and wondering wtf I said or did the day before makes me cringe right now and wonder why I waited so damn long to stop drinking.

If you're waiting to stop drinking take this as your sign to do it before you're ready because you're never going to be ready.
