I’m very nearly six years sober, but I am not ready for a New Year’s Eve party. If I started drinking again it would wind up as a catastrophe, maybe a slow motion catastrophe, but still a catastrophe. Some positive things are starting to take shape in my life, and I don’t want to lose them. I don’t feel good about it. I don’t want to be a wet blanket. But I’m not ready for a New Year’s Eve party.

I’ve friends who smoke weed and drink lots but I still don’t need to do that myself.
I’m at a point in my life where it’s not a problem to me and it takes some work but I can appreciate the concern. Nothing worse than being around people drunk or stoned when your straight but these days for me it’s all about straight edge.
You can still have a good time but if drinking is your poison you just don’t need to do it. I know I may be a rarity but stay strong and just don’t do it. If your compromised then don’t go for sure and you’ve done the right thing.
