12 hours on the clock for me till 2017! This will be the first time since I was 17 that I wont be drinking. 14 years!
I’m taking the family to a fun zone with bowling and stuff. My wife might drink but I’ll be forced to stay sober to get us home! Good luck everyone. I’ll be checking in hourly. Hoping to hear everyones wins!
Good luck!! I got through it (it’s New Years Day here). Hubby drank himself into oblivion. I cooked up a storm and drank diet tonic. Watched the 9pm fireworks with my 5 year old boy and went directly to bed
Good job!!! It’ll be New Years in 12 hours for me. I’ll stay strong
As soon as I get off work, I’m going to a meeting then going home to make appetizers (for my husband and I) for our night in at home. Going to watch movies in our pajamas and nosh then go to bed whenever I feel like it.
Two hours to go. Not sure why this is such an achievement but I’m proud. I was so close to breaking down and having a beer at dinner. But powered through. Still kind of on my mind but we stopped and bought ice cream. I read on here a couple of other peeps use sweets to kick the cravings.
How’s everyone else?
Sweets really help. Been drinking sparkling grape and apple juice all day as well as keeping jolly ranchers in my pocket. I plan on going to bed as soon as the clock hits 12. I got a half hour to go. Good job on avoiding that beer
Thanks man. Nice tip on the candy
Yep…candy (mints, jolly ranchers, chocolates, etc) help big time. When you stop drinking, you might crave sweets.
You can tell easily if someone drinks or doesn’t based on their sugar craving.
