Diet Snapple & iced tea for me, while I play bartender for about 6 highly intoxicated friends. Not looking forward to it.

Meeting in the evening then checking out a sober party at the club. All new to me but beats being alone and no desire to join any house parties quite yet. But nothing changes if nothing change, Right? putting my big girl pants on… But since i typically am asleep by 10 the party is going to have to be pretty exciting for me to stay up till midnight. LOL HAPPY New Year and checking in tomorrow is a great idea!

Also I don’t think I ever checked in. Save me from myself guys. I’ll be checking in for new years. Quiet night at home with a small group of people.

This year, such as the past 8, I will be working while others are drinking. I used to go out after, since there are bars open 24/7 around here. After work, I will come home, relax with some good food, and Netflix, or a book.

I am so glad you posted this. I will be at home with my kids, but the temptation to party with friends tonight started yesterday. It was coming on very strong.I haven’t been coming on here at all in the past month or so because I am doing great. I had Christmas at my house. So between planning that, my kids and work I was super busy. Now the chaos is gone and its nice to relax. The voices in my head going back and forth. "Just go out. Its New Years. It will be fun. " “No because you have come this far and things will go back to the way they were. I don’t want that!”
84 days sober. My next goal is 90. This will be the first New Years I will not drink and will more than likely be sleeping by midnight in 16 years. I look forward to it. One exception of 2005/2006 New Year as my son was born. I don’t count it though because if my son wasnt there I would be out drinking. My sobriety is what I want and for me. To be healthier physically and psychologically. I want this! It makes a huge difference when you really want something.
Cheers to you all to our new changed selfs in the most positive way ever! Bring on 2017!

Checking in! Working on Day 7. Going to use my bad cold as a good excuse to be the designated driver. Not sure what New Year’s Day looks like without a hangover, so I am excited for the new experience.
