Great advice.
The only resolution I followed through with was to have no more New Years resolutions!
That is until 2015. When I resolved to get myself in control.
It took nearly 5months to follow through. Those 5 months were the worst 5 months of my life.

Me!!!!
And I never thought id say this, but I don't miss drinking parties. I used to adore these opportunities to mentally check out and act crazy.
Then I realized it's a complete waste of time. A dream world. Everyone is out of their heads. No true connection, no real meaning shared between people.
Somewhere deep down inside everyone knows it's a waste. Cause they wake up not having gained anything but a hangover.
Yikes just typing that was depressing!
So grateful to be off that ferris wheel of insanity!!!!

Me!!Enjoying lying here in bed, reading SR, listening to the fireworks warming up.
Today I picked up my 9 month chip and am just so grateful to start 2016 off in sobriety.
Will wake up early, take the pooch (who's very stressed right now) for a walk on
the beach and welcome in the New Year.

Rang in the new year quietly together with my Lady. At home just the two of us. A nice meal, a romancey movie, quiet togetherness at bedtime talking together and sharing loving feelings for one another.
Third sober NYE in a row as i begin my third year of sobriety.
Wonderful.
Happy New Year, friends!!

Being that I sobered up while working as a bartender, I am able to go to drinking parties without triggers...but I hate it. I find the company annoying due to the drinking. I bring cranberry juice and tonic to things like this and pour it in an appropriate glass to feel "included", but honestly I don't think I really need it anymore. I feel I would be just as happy with a bottle of water. Staying sober is part of me now, it's all of me. It got easier just like everyone said it would. I would rather stay home and go to bed early but, this is family and I still feel obligated to show face. I left at 12:15. I offered rides, all declined, all drove home drunk. Happy New Years! I am proud of all of you!
