It's NYE in Australia right now and I'm staying sober. Join me?
 
Right this minute it's 2.41pm in Sydney, Australia on Dec 31.

I'm staying in and staying sober for NYE.

Any other Aussies or people in the same timezone around? Or people who want to celebrate NYE twice :-)

You can even watch the fireworks online. It's the largest NYE fireworks display in the world.

17 hours behind you in the U.S.

G'evening to you hope you have a blessed New Year

My plan to stay sober is to eat chocolate, play with my cat, watch tv and read SR.

I am not leaving my apartment until tomorrow morning. I am not ducking out for some 'milk' and making a detour to the liquor store.

I will wake up without a hangover and feeling just fine.

I keep reminding myself that there will be MANY people celebrateing NYE without an alcoholic drink to hand, or without getting drunk. I will be one of those people.

Alcohol quit being my BFF a long time ago and I don't want to spend my NYE with her.

Thank you Captain. I am praying for a sober 2014.

CAPTAINZING2000 12-30-2013 07:52 PM

I finished work at 1pm today. I stopped at Woolies to get a packet of Mint Slices as a treat for tonight.

It's 3pm and there are only 4 left. Oops :-)

TigerLili 12-30-2013 08:01 PM

My name is Tigerlili and I am a Mint Slice Addict.

I'm in the middle of packing up my mother's house after moving her into assisted care. So absolutely guaranteed not to drink. There's actually a bottle of nice bubbly in her wine rack but it's not even on my radar. Boy this really does get easier.

TigerLili 12-30-2013 08:13 PM

It's good that you have a guarantee not to drink, but it's sad about the reason why.

Mint Slice to go with your tea? It's the last one but you can have it.

Hey Tigerlili, count me in mate :)

Lenina 12-30-2013 08:59 PM

Tim Tams! We need Tim Tams! I love them with tea! I'm in LA but will be visiting my family on the southern end for the New Year. Celebrating under the first New moon of the new year in 19 years!

Love from Lenina

Its so weird to me that you all are one day ahead. .... I will join you now and then I will join tomorrow. Happy New Years Eve from California!

TigerLili 12-30-2013 09:03 PM

Hi Kaneda and Lenina - yes, isn't it wild that it's a new moon as well as a new year?

TigerLili 12-30-2013 09:03 PM

Hi Mizzuno come and have a practice NYE with us!

MidnightBlue 12-30-2013 09:28 PM

Hi, TigerLili!

And this is my second alco-free NY!
