Tomorrow will be my first sober NYE in a very long time. I am attending a women’s meeting early in the evening, but not quite sure what else to do. I can’t even decide if I want to do ANYTHING. I’ve spent so long isolating myself and drinking alone that getting out and doing things has been a huge change. For the most part I have enjoyed being around other people and avoided uncomfortable, awkward situations and triggers to drink by being very selective of the company I surround myself with.
I googled Sober NYE ideas and there wasn’t anything that I hadn’t already thought of, except a few that are absolutely out, probably forever but definitely for tomorrow. Medieval party is just a flat out no for obvious reasons if you know me. Can you imagine anyone letting me have a sword? I’m a firm believer that unless you are a really good singer, karaoke should be left to the performers and audience drinking alcohol so that they hopefully don’t remember. I’m definitely not going to be awake for midnight meditation on a work night, so that’s out. After scrolling through the ideas, I’m semi curious what everyone else is doing. Is there a secret list of fun sober ideas? Or is everything basically the same and I just get to be in control of myself. Not that that is a bad thing!
