HAPPY NEW YEAR '16! May The Lord bless each & every one of you;grow to truly know Him coz He's the only One that can fill up the hole in your soul. Do not substitute one addiction for another ie start or heavily smoke more or binge eating or porn...fill in the blank & instead try getting addicted to God! Requesting my 1st 24 in new yr pls

Happy New Year to you all. It's been a while since I posted, well since my beloved father passed away in February, but I'm still sober and I'm doing okay. 2015 wasn't a good year for me for lots of reasons so hopefully things can only get better. I had a job remembering my password and it will take me a while to get my bearings again but I hope to be checking in regularly and catching up with my friends. I'd like to thank you all for your support and it is lovely to see so many familiar names still posting. Love to you all. xxxx

Happy New Year tgirl!!! So much love....

And yes Gracie, it's been a tough year for quite a few of us. A great deal of loss.

But together we will move forward.

1:30 a.m., 24 more please! Happy New Year! Stayed sober at a late AA speaker meeting and dance, then rode my bike through quiet neighborhood streets and saw some fireworks.

Hello. I'm here too, 09:47 GMT last night I opted out of 2 dangerous NYE celebration options and stayed in with my mum and brother. Laughed more than I ever would at any party and woke up hangover free. 24 please

Graaacceeee!! Welcome back!

Grace and Venus, I hope 2016 is much better for you both.

2015 was pretty awesome. I'd be hard pressed to top it. So I'm good with a 2016 that is almost as good but not noticeably worse. or more of the same. Well it can't be totally the same, I only plan to get married once.

I'm totally in for another 24 hours! Wishing everyone a blessed, fun, productive and sober 2016

A new day has begun. I went to help in a homeless shelter serving breakfast this morning. It was actually really nice just to eat cereal and drink coffee and chat with the guys. It was an enormous boost to my recovery.

Lots of folks will be making resolutions today. Some will include quitting drinking among them. What I love about this thread is that it doesn't have to be New Year's Day, this thread is an open invite, 24/7/365 (or in case of this year 366), to let everybody else know that TODAY I will not drink. Doesn't matter if this is Day 1, Week 1, Month 1 or Year 1 or beyond, by checking in here you are making a public commitment to stay sober for today and after all, the past is gone and tomorrow is always in the future, so today is all we have for certain. Together, we can DO THIS!!!!!

With all that said, it's now 6:10 AM and I'm with you all for another day sober.

Day 1

One drink last night has brought me back to the beginning. At 7am here, I have 7 clean hours under my belt and am praying for a full 24.

Happy New Year to all 🎉
