So you made it through Christmas and all the relatives and the hustle and bustle. Temptations were there for sure but hooray, you did not drink.
Only to be faced, a week later, with the Party Night of the Year, New Year’s Eve!
How ya doing? Are you hanging in there? Is tonight going to be tough on you? It’s normal if it is, and it is normal if you are concerned about it.
And for many of us, it is normal not to drink!
Here is the secret….are you ready?
You make the decision not to drink! Period!
How bad do you want this thing called sobriety? If you want it bad enough then you won’t succumb to the temptation tonight. You won’t use New Year’s Eve as an excuse to get wasted. You won’t give up!
Surround yourself with sober friends tonight, and don’t tell me you don’t have any sober friends. In every AA meeting place you will find sober friends to pass the time with tonight if you are having problems. Reach out, ask for help, and above all…..
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know I will, and I’ll be sober while doing it!
