It’s 11:05pm here… so far so good. Sober and watching murder mystery shows. I flaked on a party because I didn’t want to be around drunk people. Congrats on staying strong and sober!

2:12am here and completely sober. The second year down and I’ll be honest when I say it doesn’t get easier but it’s worth it, even if I don’t realize it now, I know it is.

I worked again this year. Pouring drinks for those celebrating. When some of my superiors asked if I wanted a glass of champagne to toast, I politely declined. Been at this place almost 9 years, and never had been asked this question. In fact drinking on the job for most of us is grounds for automatic termination, so most would jump at the chance to have a drink with the bosses, while on the clock. Stopped at my usual spot on my way home where I usually buy alcohol, but bought iced tea instead.

No issues here. Got back yesterday from my hunting trip. Was in bed by 10pm.

I’m 38, new years lost its luster for me a long time ago. I did usually drink on new years either in my full blown alcoholic phase or even when I just abused it.

Great night! No sneak drinking! So happy not to feel depressed and guilty this morning. Colored with the kids last night and drank sparkling grape juice. @NatalieE can’t wait to take a walk in the rain too💜

Went over a friends house as they were having a party. Took some non alcoholic beer and really enjoyed myself. Most people were pretty drunk by the end of it and I must admit I was getting a little bit tired of the repetitive drunk conversations. Drove home with my hubby and kids at 11:30 using the excuse of looking after the dogs when the fireworks went off. So glad to be starting the new year sober :slight_smile:

Made it again this New Years for my second one in a row. I kicked and screamed and slept until 2pm but my body needed it after the stress of last night and remaining sober even while home watching tv. Just knowing the world is completely hammered is enough to sometimes set me off. We made it through the holidays guys!!!
