Hi, @trainwreck54 - Yes, I've noted a growing trend with neighbors giving out beer to parents of trick or treaters on Halloween as we've been out with our kids in the past few years. I think it's an attempt to make it inclusive and fun for the parents. Seems to make it a popular stop, I've noted.

You've offered some great tips and advice for situations where others are drinking.

Over the years since you got sober, have you found holidays more challenging related to alcohol, or other situations?

Yes I find the Holidays extremely difficult!!! As I watch others without a drinking problem, I often feel anxious , punished that I can’t enjoy a few festive drinks without heading back down that dark path. Then I feed the idea I can have just one. Anxiety builds and I become angry .
