Thinking the absolute worst time to go to treatment would be during Christmas holidays I decided to hold out to the New Year make it part of a new year resolution. Had a brand new baby and wasn’t going to miss his first Christmas. Of course the wife couldn’t take it anymore and she and baby went to live with her mom. I’m still thinking I can’t ruin every one’s holidays,especially my mom. Oh so full of it…… By the Grace of God and in spite of myself I made it to treatment, best thing that ever happened to me, my life started to change immediately, recovery began immediately. I picked up the things they said to do and ran with them. In a short period of time I was pass eligible and even invited home for Christmas. Now I don’t want to go. It would be to embarrassing (not embarrassed drinking and using) Before Christmas trying not to go to rehab my poor mom just sobbed (not the wife she hated me) and in treatment home at Christmas she sobbed again and yes it was a very different sob, she called it a Christmas Miracle followed by hope and peace and the best night sleep in years. Christmas, couldn’t be a better time!
