well, dont know exactly how i feel yet cuz i havent been up long enuf to know yet.My illness allows me a little peace when i first wake up and doesnt hit me like a ton of bricks after about an hour.Well, goal for tonite is to stay sober.no alcoholic beverages allowed.invited to a party but not sure if we will accept the invite or just stay at home for the evening.my two friends who live across the street invited us to come over.Neither of them drink so it maight be a good idea to just stay local.Changing of people, places and things is a tough one.I learned that in AA altho i dont attend meetings anymore.wow! another new years eve celebration sober.wow!  for all of you who read this and are struggling with addictions, especially alcohol, it DOES get easier with time believe it or not.i know it may not seem that way but its true.Love and peace to everyone and a happy new year 2008.  LOLA***
