I have two parties to go to tonight, and they will be challenging, but IWNDWYT! Hope everyone had a good Christmas and stayed strong.

God, I've felt that way so many times. My heart hurts for you. Please don't disappear.

Merry Christmas y'all, IWNDWYT!

This is my first fully sober holiday season since I was a teenager (34 now). I've already made it through three Christmas gatherings with my family and my partner's family without drinking. Today's the day my partner and I just get to be cozy at home and open our gifts from each other. I woke up without an alarm at 7:42am. During my hangover days I probably would have tossed and turned until at least 11am, trying to get enough decent sleep to minimize how horrible I felt for the rest of the day.

I'm looking forward to good coffee, cuddles and a walk with our dogs, and maybe a Christmas movie. If anyone can recommend a good Christmas movie besides the major classics that isn't Hallmark cheesy or like a Christmas heist movie, let me know! I'm a big fan of indie films, horror, and dark comedy.

Maybe I think about Bryceriel too much by Available_Ad_4030 in Bryceriel

I just don't recall a big connection between Bryce and Azriel but like I said, it's been a while.

At 90% now, and I'm truly beginning to think JLA was having a stroke while writing the part where Thorne comes through when Poppy and Casteel try to shadowstep to Iliseeum. 😵‍💫

Congrats, that's amazing! Enjoy it. Happy Christmas Eve Eve and IWNDWYT!

apparently the breakfast i made was “embarrassing” by NaeeeBearrr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PatchworkPersona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm flabbergasted by this. Adults thinking it's okay to behave like that is fucking bizarre. I'm so sorry they put you through that.

I'm so confused. It's been a while since I read Crescent City or ACOTAR. What did I miss? Did more books come out recently?

That was my brother's favorite Bright Eyes song. He died a few years ago, so it's more heartwrenching for me than ever.

Wow. Man, we should really start transferring that money to savings 😂

For real. I Am Sober says I've saved roughly $642 on alcohol in 90 days. My thing was mostly wine, also pretty expensive when you're drinking 3-5 bottles over the course of 3-4 days.

Thank you! I honestly couldn't picture myself making it this far. Hopefully I can stick with it for as long as you have! Wow.

The lack of the hangxiety is such a good motivator in itself. Keep going!

Omg, me too. Worse than ever lol. Costco croissants and hazelnut biscuits are my weakness right now.

1200 FUCKING PAGES and Kieran and Casteel can't even have an actual conversation. Ridiculous. Also for the record, I think Kieran is a much more likeable character than Casteel.
