What are you doing/did for NYE?
 

Well I was suppose to go to my cousins with the family. But I woke up at 4am getting sick. So I have been in bed all day ad probably will be all night from whatever this is I have. I feel like crud. I'm hot, then I am cold. Stomach is twisitng up. cant hold anything down. But I wont be geting high. I wouldnt have anyway. But it would have been nice to hang with th fam one last time like this before I leave Monday.
Oh well.
Hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, SOBER NYE!

I am just going to have a quiet evening. Never used to go out when I drank because of the drunks. LOL

Hope you feel better soon!

Stayed Sober!!!!!!!

Stayed home, cooked a yummy dinner, gonna take a nice bubble bath, watch some tv and then off to bed to enjoy my night sweats. LOL!

Dime,
Isn't that the truth!

I used to smoke as well and couldn't stand those rude smokers :)

True, True. I would never go out as I said the once a year drunks where out as they could not handle the beer. lol

Watching hockey now (Ottawa Senators vs. New York Islanders) then Chick-fil-a bowl at 8:30 PM EST. :) My usual New Years Eve. A couple AA friends are coming over later for coffee, but that is it.

Hope you feel better soon, Aysha.

I was supposed to go to a party at my mother in law's house but I KNOW she will pressure me to drink so I opted to stay home. To my surprise, my husband knew that me being around her in my newly sober state would create problems, so he is staying home with me. So here we are, snug and comfy with the kids, playing computer games, XBox 360, entertaining my 11 week old baby, playing with new Christmas toys, etc.

We had snow this morning and my three year old son and I had a blast doing snow angels, having a snowball fight and sledding. I shovelled our walkways; for some reason physical activity makes me feel great. I just had a cup of coffee but I doubt I will make it til midnight because the meds my doctor put me on for withdrawal make me sooo sleepy.

New Year's Eve is just another night, I guess...it will be over in four hours and I will be able to say I didn't drink. That will be day four for me; it should be more but I had a recent relapse.

Hope you feel better soon Asyha! Try to get some rest and some fluids if possible.

I stayed home, ate some nice food, rented some dvd's and watched the fireworks inferno of my neighbors from my window. It was nice :)

I stayed in on my own. My partner, 18 year-old step son and my 2 daughters have gone to the out-laws, I did not go as did not trust myself around all the booze.

Hope you get better soon Trish :hug:

I'm taking my lovely lady out for dinner, then a carriage ride. If us old folks can stay awake until midnight we'll find a place to have coffee and ring in the New Year.

Happy New Year everyone!:nyai

Watching a movie with my dogs then going to bed. Happy New Year all!:nyae:snow::nyc

sorry you feel poorly (((Trish)))
take it easy :)

Have a good safe night all! :wave:

Just relaxing and playing alotta Neil Young stuff on my guitar tonight.

Twilight Zone marathon! Survived my last party of the season, at a brewrey of all places, and I'm still sober!

I am missing so much yummy food. I hope they remember to bring me some so I can eat it tomorrow. LOL
Back to bed. I will probably be up at 12. But then again, who knows.
I dont care cuase 2010 is going to be the year I finally stay clean.

Good job everyone.

I'm alone this New Years, but it's by choice. I could have invited a couple of ex-boyfriends to join me, but I've decided this is the beginning my new life. 11 days sober today and loving it. Going down to the marina to watch fireworks on the water with a professionals social group that I just joined. A little nerve wracking to think of hanging out on a boat with 35 total strangers, but all our friends were strangers at one time, right?! Being nervous in groups where I don't know anyone was always one of my triggers. I hope I can avoid the urge to drink.

But I know one thing for sure: I love the water and I decided to attend this event because even though I'm sure people will be drinking, I'm there to do something I love and that is sail the open seas! LOL

Happy New Year, I hope we all wake up in the new year with no regrets. Kisses....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :nyc

Me and the little guy are hanging out together. Right now watching Family Guy. :)

It's only 10PM. I slept in as much as I could today because he wanted to stay up tonight.

I'm hoping we can see some good fireworks outside. I sure can hear them.

Not much............WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!

Hope you're feeling better soon Girl! xo

:nys

Today is day 30 for me, but I certainly did not plan it that way. I had a nice dinner with my Mom and stepdad earlier, and am watching football/movies now. Plan on watching the ball drop later while relaxing. Quite a difference for me this new years eve. Looking forward to hitting a meeting tomorrow, and will probably go for a nice long run. Have a good one all!

I am on football overload....my heavens! That, and I've read a couple of books Santa brought me for Christmas.

Hope you feel better, Trish!

AA District NYE celebration....just got home a little while ago. About a hundred sober drunks eating, fellowshipping, listening to a couple good leads, bidding on a "white elephant" auction, dancing, having a good time.

My feet and knees are going to hate me tomorrow, but I had a great time tonight. Called all four of my kids at midnight...daughter with a friend killing zombies, one son in VA with his girlfriend, another in NYC with his girlfriend (and being designated driver for a carload of her family), the other in Boston. Getting ready now to turn in with hubby.

Happy 2010 to all...

Peace & Love,
Sugah

We stayed in and watched the Twilight Zone marathon. It's still going strong, but I'm about pooped out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! :nyz

Day 3 sober. Not the best time for New Year's Eve but it falls where it falls I guess. My wife was able to procure a babysitting job so my five year old and I spent the evening at my parents house. We played UNO, drank coffee, and watched the ball drop in Times Square. My parents don't and never have drank - which, I suppose, makes it all the worse that I've had the alcohol problems I've had - so it was a safe environment. I feel good about it although I have to admit it wasn't as much fun as years past. This is going to be tough.

Hosted a NYE Party with 15-20 of my wifes Drunk friends/family who I don't even like. The not Drinking was the easy part this time. It's the being around loud, obnoxious, repetitive drunks I could do without. Thank God I am not in the Parallel Universe where I am still an Alcoholic because tomorrow would have been a really bad withdrawl day instead of waking up rested and refreshed.

I took my 3 1/2 year old to dinner and the movies. We saw The Princess and the Frog, which is the first movie she sat through in a theater. Now I'm snuggled under the heating blanket grateful to be sober.

Last NYE I was hooked up to machines and an IV in a critical care unit in another state! I am in awe of how life can change if you allow it to. This holiday season is the first one I've spent sober in about 13 years (aside from my pregnancy).

The best part? I don't feel like I missed a damn thing by not "partying."

At ten days sober... I went to a meeting, then Denny's (the only restaurant open) and then to the last ten minutes of the year at an Alano club, where I had to repel a few guys who were determined that if I spent enough time listening to them, I'd fall in love and then they could do all the great things they wanted to do, but couldn't--because, of course the right person wasn't in their lives. One of them asked me if I liked older guys... guess I threw him a loop when I looked him in the eyes and said simply, "No." Loop or no loop, he spent the next half hour trying to catch my eye.

And I did it all sober, for the first time in a long time... I might have started 2009 with about three weeks wasted, and dang near ended it the same way, but--nope. I started 2010 sober, and I aim to finish it that way too...

Take care y'all, Happy New Year.

Hey Everyone - Happy New Year

Hope you are better soon Trish and good luck for Monday (read the other post)

My NYE was about 10 people at my place, half drinking and half not, 2 people got really trashed but werent too bad. I didnt drink, an achievement after 11 days of sobriety.

I dont plan on plans for next NYE, going to go with the flow!

It was AMAZING to wake up and not be hungover and be able to clean up after the party and put things away and do whatever I wanted - what a change!

2010 - here I come!

I had to work tonight...sounds crazy but I am a bartender! For some reason working in an upscale hotel bar on NYE was not a temptation for me whatsoever!! My problem with drinking was always at home alone. However, I am 50 days sober now and am finding I really don't miss it all that much. The thing I miss is when friends call and want to go have a drink or when I go on a date etc. But I will learn to handle that I'm sure with time. This was the first holiday season in 10 years that I didn't drink. All I could think of while at work tonight is that I was glad I'm sober and not acting like all the obnoxious drunks that were there. I am more serious about my recovery than ever before and am taking it one day at a time and each day seems to be getting better. The depression I was experiencing before Christmas seems to have lifted and I am wondering if it was more because of the season rather than with my not drinking. I think I am going to like this recovery thing!! Just going to keep on keeping on. I hit a few meetings last week and got a sponsor!! All is good. I am thankful for this forum. Happy New Years everyone!! Ü

Happy New Year All!!

Mine was low key but pleasant. I played Trivial Pursuit with the fam and watched the Canada-US hockey game. No booze!!

:nyag

Woot!!! I LOVE this Trish!! Feel better and feel better upon waking. Orders from New Mexico! Happy 2010!!
