Today, a local liquor store gave me a holiday gift for being such a great customer. They're not the first ones to do so. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that the cashier at the liquor store and I are already on a first-name basis. I just moved to this town a week ago. FML
Today, the girl who works at the liquor store came to where I work. She recognized me. FML
Today, I was addressed by name by the liquor store clerk. I've never told him my name. He's just seen my ID many times. FML
Today, it has got to the point that I don't even have to ask for my booze in the local off-licence, they just hand me my bottle. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Today, I found out that the neighbor I'd given a bottle of wine to for Christmas is a recovering alcoholic. FML
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, I went to a new deli in town. While waiting in line, I hadn't made up my mind on what to order, so I let the guy behind me go instead. Turns out he was the hundredth customer, and they gave him his lunch for free. FML
Today, on my way to work I stopped at a winery and spent around $120 on 2 bottles of wine for my boss, since it was his birthday. When I gave him the gift, in exchange he let me know I am being laid off - his consolation was "if you can afford this wine I'm sure you'll be OK". FML
Today, I felt like doing a good deed, so when I bought something at a store I told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then panicked and said, “What do I do???” Turns out, I was her first ever customer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Every moment is a good moment to get better. You can start now.

Sorry to state the obvious, but I suspect that unless you are a caterer, OP has an alcohol problem. I suggest AA. Don’t wait until the new year, start looking now for help.

Do you mean other liquor stores have given you holiday gifts to reinforce your addiction, or do you get similar gifts from your drug dealer, your bookie and your pimp?

resolutions made for "new year, new me" often fail. I agree that making one on a random day, with no real significance, is better. I have been able to lose more weight, having made my choice to get healthier on a random Tuesday than I ever did for New years. I fall off schedule a lot, but constant progress. And little steps, never make some major "6 month first try" shit. that will feel like an impossible goal at first sign of stress.
