What's more difficult than Christmas, New Years Eve when everyone is popping open bottles.
So get out the ginger ale or apple cider NA and use these things as a crutch.

It can be hard in early sobriety. I am blessed that my obsession to drink lifts as soon as I get into 12 step work. The flip side is it comes back if I stop (I’ve never made amends). I currently have 74 days and I’m house sitting 2 homes with alcohol by myself. I’m not tempted.

In my area they will have an alcothon New Year’s Eve. I went to the Christmas Eve one and it was not what I expected, there were lots of people and plenty of food. There may be something like that in your area.
We stay home with our 2 year old. I can actually be around those celebrating with alcohol if I wanted
I also stay near my phone in case a friend needs a designated driver.
Getting myself a nice frosty pint of Dr. Pepper

Enjoy it. I'll have Pepsi or a fancy Ginger Ale.
My better half might have two Truly's...
