My best guess...I need another "extra" hour to think about it.

This got me wondering, what's *really* the hardest day of the year to stay sober?

I'm guessing Thanksgiving. Christmas is stressful, but for T-Giving add the fact that its such a short holiday period that either people are frantically rushing through crowded highways/airports to spend a scant couple days at some distant location before doing it all over again, or else they're forgoing the travel and feeling lonely and distant from their family on that day.

Or maybe New Year's Eve?

i guess each day could be the hardest day to keep sober if i don't look upward.  looking at all the booze displayed in the stores has me feeling funky.  it looks pretty, but it is deadly.  today is sunday and keeping in contact with my higher power is the most important thing that reminds me to be sober is to be alive.  today i will not drink.  some days are easier than others.  reaching out to you all helps me stay sober.      jj/sheila

good one, TG.  i think i over analyzed it, imagine that......   LOL,  i am very practiced in over indulging, over thinking, and over doing....  without AA i would not have found sobriety, which is the space to search for and find peace, growth, and acceptance.   jj/sheila

My SO is an alcoholic, and I'm guessing the hardest day of the year for him to stay sober is when he misses an AA meeting.
