Boardgames with friends until about 9, then hanging out at home. Probably cleaning up the office and backing up files onto a new hard drive.
8TB baby. Oh yeah. Perfect for all the pictures I have of my cat. Also might take the new video card for a drive. Just put it in today.
New year, new computer parts. 
New Year’s Eve hasn’t been a “thing” for me since my kids were born. They are 17 and 19. The younger and I will chill out. I am making spaghetti and “meat” balls (all gluten free because I can’t take anymore gluten after my Christmas indulgence).
We also have to care for our poor dogs because fireworks will be loud and long, despite the first big storm of the season on the way, ice and snow: Good times!. It’s fascinating to say that, as we’ve usually had several doozies by now.
@anon35096624 I have been here since 2016 and still working on it. It takes what it takes, my friend. I will never give up and I know you won’t either.
Holidays aren’t difficult sobriety days for me. It’s all the other days but I am going this demon is going down, slowly if necessary. Feeling particularly strong over this holiday season and ready to continue sobriety into and through 2022.
Happy New sober year to all my beautiful people. It’s 1:30 am. I’m super happy not to have drunk alcohol this night. Now cleaning up and going to bed soon. I’m so so so so glad to wake hangover free tomorrow.
My plans include assisting in moderating the forum!
Just video chatted with a friend in Jamaica and another in Alberta, Canada…very different climates. Might catch some of Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen’s NYE Party / Music, those 2 crack me up! Hanging with my husband and the cats and enjoying the fireplace even tho it is warm outside.
Wishing everyone a healthy, peaceful, sober evening / day / year ahead.
Thank you for your service!
Just got home from my friend’s place where we had NA bubbles and mocktails (a first for her) and listened and watched the conclusion of the Top 2000. I could have done with tea and water but I think this pleased her. And me on my third sober Oud en Nieuw didn’t feel triggered. Rode home through a quiet city due to all the bars and clubs being closed and fireworks being banned. There was some but very little compared to before. Good for an old fart like me. Now I better get some 
. Work starts in less then 6 hours. Happy New year all. Sober and clean.

Hanging out at home playing some VR cuz I’m still pooped from Christmas!
(But also, me and my friends all traveled. And all decided we’d rather cool down from our trips to make sure we’re not spreading the rona around.)

Spent New Year’s Eve in a typical way, but still feel emotionally low. I scheduled my nail appointment but then remembered that I associate that place with always having a glass of wine while I’m there. So I decided to go to a different place, which was much closer anyway. After my five mile run I showered and then went to do that. I wanted to do something New Year’s Eve night so I decided on the skating rink. It was an okay time. I skated a bit and got some nice pictures with some Snapchat filters. I left at 1030 so I could be home by eleven. I felt bad because my daughter was already home and said she didn’t go do anything. I only went out because I figured she was going out and I didn’t want her to feel bad about it. Her and I had a huge fight after Christmas about her leaving me alone all day that day. So I came in at eleven and we sat around until after 12. Basically wished each other happy new year and I came out to watch law and order svu. I honestly feel like this is gonna be a horrible year. I hate to be pessimistic but I just overall feel like shit and everything I think about seems to be a trigger in one way or another.
I wish all people the power of staying sober !
Happy new year ! I,m looking forward 1,6 years soberness.
Just for today !
It was a rainy, moody new years’ eve…
I was invited to a house party last night, but I had gotten my vax booster earlier in the day and it had me feeling pretty icky…not terrible like the effects I got from shot #2, but have the body fatigue, fever, chills, and joint pain. I was out like a light by 6 last night.
Last time, I was over it by noon the next day and I figure this will be the same. It’s tolerable right now but I don’t plan on doing anything.
My biggest new years excitement, short term: my new calendar. I’m the only person I know that still always has a wall calendar. I like 'em. I’ve been getting Peanuts/Charlie Brown ones for like a decade, so I switched it up this year.
Biggest new years excitement, long term: working towards buying a house out here in 2022. I am excellent with my money in sobriety, but a friend is a financial advisor and this week I met with him and his business partner to work together to get the most out of my finances. I’m in good shape but intrigued but what we can possibly do. I’ll have to be somewhat aggressive if I want to do it comfortably.
I still like wall calendars. My hubby gets me a baby animal one every year. Last year’s was baby pigs. I got excited when he gave me baby goats this year for xmas. I already took it to work and hung it on my wall. Lovin your king of the hill, that show is so funny.
