I agree with Dee about the temptation of NYE. Feels like a bit too much for the first month of sobriety.
But, for me, I could tell that I was an alcoholic simply by promising myself that I wouldn't drink and then being unable to not drink.
I have the "tomorrow disease" as in "I can always start tomorrow". What I have learned in sobriety is that only "today" matters.
Thanks for posting.
