But as a drinker, I never made an effort at New Years anyway, and even then couldn’t understand the need to drink excessively that night.

But ultimately, I used what little 60 day tools I had and made the conscious decision to not drink. I posted here and received some of the best advice I have gained thus far in sobriety from a fellow member. I ended up hanging out socially for just the right amount of time (45min) into the new year at midnight with the right friends who respected my decision to not drink. The next day I started the new year with 61 days sober instead of another day 1. I am forever grateful to the moment that provided me with a strength I didn't know was there to get me through a tough decision. Today I am 792 days sober. Stay motivated my friends! You got this.
