I suggest that no one stays up to ring in the new year unless you want to. I personally need the sleep. Won't go anywhere to celebrate. Sparkling cider & alcohol free egg nog. Maybe some nuts & light snacks. I am actually looking forward to the new year. Let go of the old year & bring in the new. Alanon teaches us to live one day at a time. In my relationship sobriety is so important sanity & serenity go hand in hand. The night is coming soon so look up! The sky is the limit! Hang in by there! Huge & plentiful hugs all around. My arms reach far & wide.

I'm with you! I already know I don't want to stay up so I plan to enjoy a nice dinner and then head off to bed with a video and a book.
Early New Year's wishes to all for joy and serenity.
I have made it a few times in the last decade, but go with the flow. If I am tired, I'll go to bed. If I am not, I'll stay up. I too am looking forward to the new year! I get my bedroom + bed back tomorrow - yahoo! That is like a gift unto itself after being in a spare room on the second floor for almost 2 weeks!!!
Light and love to everyone!
