is my first day without alcohol, for the rest of my life.
Last night I finished tapering off. I had quit the week before, but fell in the hole again. Last night I had approximately 1/2 of one beer. I stared at the rest of the beer in my fridge and actually *recoiled* in disgust. And poured it down the sink. All of it.
I don't care that tonight is NYE. I don't want to drink tonight, or ever. I think this is proof that I'm finally over it. Finally ready to bury this part of my life. Otherwise, I'd be finding every excuse in the book to drink tonight -- "it's NYE" "one last hurrah" "resolutions start on 1/1"....
Nope.
My resolutions start NOW. No time to waste. We only have one life on this planet. No arbitrary holiday that says I should be drinking tonight is going to steal my life away from me.

There's a lot of us staying sober tonight, so welcome to the club!
