Holiday greetings to all. Have a safe, clean and sober holiday. It is my hope to post special Christmas poems, greetings and ways to keep yourself safe over the holidays.
Holidays can be a time of fear for many. For me it was important to stay in today. To remember it was just another 24 hour day and to surround myself with safe people (not necessarily family) and have a support group of people I could call. In early recovery, I went to the Area Social Club where they were open 24 hours and had fellowship, food, and meetings.

The holidays are about getting together with friends. In recovery, we come from all walks of life and yet we have a common denominator. We want to stay clean and sober. No one is less than or better than, we are all equal, through the Grace of God we share, one addict with another, no matter what our drug of choice has been. The substance is but a symptom of our disease. When we identify instead of comparing, we can come together in unity and enjoy the Fellowship of the Spirit. ![]() Merry Christmas Happy Hanukkah Happy New Year Happy Holidays You’ve Got Mail Click This To Read Your Mail http://www.oldjoeblack.0nyx.com/winter.htm It is important to keep safe over the holiday. For me I had to have an alternative plan. If I felt someplace wasn't safe for me to be, I would place my sobriety first, even before my family. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

He cussed out the elves and threw down his list. Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks. I have a good mind to scrap the whole works! I've busted I disagree for d**n near a year, Instead of "Thanks Santa"--what do I hear? The old lady pregnant doges cause I work late at night. The elves want more money--The reindeer all fight. Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids. Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS. And just when I thought that things would get better Those not a very nice persons from the IRS sent me a letter, They say I owe taxes--if that ain't d**n funny Who the hell ever sent Santa Claus any money? And the kids these days--they all are the pits They want the impossible--Those mean little nutss I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds Assembling dolls...Their arms, legs and heads I made a ton of yo yo's--No request for them, They want computers and robots...they think - I'm IBM! Flying through the air...dodging the trees Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees I'm quitting this job there's just no enjoyment I'll sit on my fat ass and draw unemployment. There's no Christmas this year now you know the reason, I found me a blonde. I'm going SOUTH for the season

![]() Santa's Prayer on Christmas Eve The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed, But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed. "Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight. There's much work to do and my schedule is tight. I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky, Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly. I will visit each household before the first light; I'll cover the world and all in one night. With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof, Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof. To get in the house is the difficult part, So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart. My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes. The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes. I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track. I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack. I can do all these things Lord, only through You, I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do. All this is to honor the birth of the One, That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son. So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob, Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job." - - Warren D. Jennings

![]() A Christmas Prayer ![]() Loving Father, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen.... by Robert Louis Stevenson

Tonight I was talking to my sponsor. Her husband is just back from Scotland where his sister died as a result of her disease.
We so often think, we can come back. Sometimes they don't make it, and I am so glad for the message they carry to me. It isn't better out there and my disease is progressive. It is a sad time of the year to lose someone. My father died on December 21 and our children were all young, they just didn't understand. My son is still in active addiction, so my prayers go out to all those who are using and the family and friend of those who are using. ![]()

![]() Finally the elevator doors opened and there was already a crowd in the car. She pushed her way into the car and dragged her two kids in with her and all the bags of stuff. When the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and stated, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up and shot." From the back of the car everyone heard a quiet, calm voice respond, "Don't worry. We already crucified him." For the rest of the trip down the elevator it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word. If we all did it, just think of how different this whole world would be.
