The big night

Here we are at the end of 2016 and today/tonight will be probably one of the most difficult days to stay sober. I’m heading up to meet a group of old college roommates to bring in the new year and if that doesn’t scare the hell out of me, their potential peer pressure definitely does! My plan is to bring a cooler full of soda and waters to preoccupy my mind of needing to drink. It’s going to be hard no doubt, but this journey is far more important than one night of fun/celebrating a year lived and to be lived.

I am thinking of everyone on this forum and I’m hoping you all stay safe, regardless of your plan of attack for the night. This night won’t be easy!

I never understood bringing in the new year with a hangover but I did it every year lol. This NYE will be different, and tomorrow I will wake up clear headed and ready to go, even if that means ready to hit the snooze button a few more times :joy:

When you put it like that, it does seem ridiculous. But year after year I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Here’s to waking up with no hangover in a new year.

Coming up to 9pm - I’d be drunk by now, that’s for sure. Do I miss it? No! Because by 10 I’d be unsteady, 11 I’d be wondering how I was going to get home, and on I’d go until 3 or 4 when I’d be insensible and making an ass of myself.
I have got an energy drink and some chocolate lined up though!

Awesome dude. I believe I’m going to hit a relaxing rain hike with my dog, fuck yeah 2017!

My friends are insisting on kidnapping me. I haven’t told 90% of them my new way of life and I’m completely content…sobriety is amazing.
