1st New Year's Eve alone
I decided to stay home tonight. My parents offered for me to stay at their house and spend the night, but I really just feel like being by myself.
This is definitely a first for me! I'm always with my family, especially during the holidays, but tonight I just need to reflect and focus on myself.
Another sign that I'm growing and in peace.
I have reading to do, snacks to eat, and plenty of celebration t.v. shows to flip through tonight. I've always been my best date.
Cheers to all of you taking care of yourself tonight, too!!

I am also focusing on myself tonight. I came across a thread in the stickies by DesertEyes for adult children of alcholics on 'Handling Guilt'. It came at the most amazingly appropriate time for me. I've got my work cut out for me tonight, that's for sure.
Best of luck to you aztchr as you spend time on self reflection tonight. I'll be working right along with you across the miles.
Happy New Year!!

I've only recently discovered this! I've rented two DVDs and once dinner is out of the way (steaks, baked potatoes and salad), I'm going to treat myself to a night of viewing pleasure.
Happy New Year!

I met my sister for dinner at a local chain restaurant that serves simple, down-home meals. On the drive home, I noticed Northern Virginia's finest perched at nearly every major intersection doing their best to keep our roads free of folks who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
It's a good thing that a girl can't be pulled over for DUIMG (driving under the influence of mashed potatoes and gravy). I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year than to spend the evening sipping coffee and chatting with my sissy. Here's to the new year and to special sisters.
8 Hope everyone chooses to make 2008 a great year.

I'm here toooooo.....but then I never go out on New Years Eve.....I guess it goes back to two main reasons...one I was married to an alcoholic and two the kids are out and someone had to be responsible...right??? Well tonight the kids are out and about and no more XAH around but somehow I feel at peace tonight. I'll be here if anyone wants to talk...

I have spent a few holidays alone. I have come to appreciate those times by realizing I can do anything I want that evening with out having to take care of children, cook for guests etc.
I remember how devestated I was when I had to spend my first Valentines day alone. The next day it was all over! Now, I find peace in days like that.
Happy New Year to you.

i spent this year alone... I think there's going to be a lot of
doing things alone for a while. It's okay thou..at least I know.
In the past i would be alone anyway..just going out of my freaken
mind and having to deal with all of the chaso and wreakage.
Not only on x-mas..it didn't matter what special days or
holidays.
I remember not too long ago...i sat at home along (again),
wondering and worring like crazy....Sure enough she made it
in 5 mins after midnight...Sure enough I had to go retrieved
the car from the freeway. I started off my year with a bang.
She siezed up the engine hualing ass home from the casino
drove the car knowing there was a warning light..but she didn't
give a damn. I ended up spending over $2500 to get it repaired.
She nevered helped me of course..but she drove it. It was her
car, But it was my car when it came to paying the bills becuase
it was in my name. I made over 52 payments on that car.
The following year..it got repoed..becuase i got stupid and trusted
her. I had to pay for all the bills and food for us.
She spent all of her money gambling.
So i lended her my money for presents for her family.
and my family barely got anything. She promised to pay me back.
Nope...she took off gambling on new years weekend and lost all
of her money again...Freanken..the car payment for her to drive.
I still have to live with that crap today...it messed up my credit
big time...But she dosn't care. The list gose on and on and on.
I wish i can leave stuff like that in the past...but i get statements
all the time to remind me. she's clueless to matters as such.
Last year I bascailly did the samething. Gave her money to buy
stuff for her family. Seriously I get screwed every x-mas.
I got a $2 flash light :rof
I guess so..i was lost in the dark.lol
So...this year is not so bad considering..it was quite, no chaos, no
wreckages.
