Sober. Second New Year's Day in a row waking up without a hangover. Of course, for me, for many years, a hangover was an every day thing.

So I feel good. I stayed in New Year's Eve, It still feels awkward to me. I've always either gone out and gotten drunk or stayed in and gotten drunk. Going out is not something I want to do. Not because I'm afraid of drinking, but in my sobriety I find myself very impatient with people to have had too much to drink. So I stay home, but then I don't know what to do with myself!

Overall, though, I'm looking forward to a peaceful, productive, and prosperous 2018.

Why does everyone on here seem so "normal"?

very achy breaky

just like any winter morning

I'm sober and went to my first yoga class of 2018. It could be worse.

Feeling pretty damn good. I'm 65 years old but feel like a kid skipping school. My arms not hurting. I'm slow moving but I don't care. Wife is watching that stupid show that spouses scream at each other. I hang in the kitchen at the bar. I don't have to work anymore and I get excited when there's a cold rain and realize someone else is out there fixing equipment and it ain't me.....

Not to go anywhere is my best prize!!!! If I do not have to, I stay and enjoy every minute of it!!!!

Not hung over. Just doing my morning chores around the house. Adulting sucks.

Cold and sober. Could be worse

Quite good. Though my old Florida house - with little to no insulation - is damn chilly !! But seeing what the rest of the country has to endure - no complaints.

lucid well I feel that way every morning.

Looks like a good day. Sunny and clear here. In a reflective mood. Did wake up for a short while at midnight from all the fireworks. Only agenda item is to play a little banjo (celtic tunes).

After so many New Years, waking up drunk and tired, I was very at peace for a change! smiling
