i don't think a drink or three on new years would be a bad idea at all. for the rest of your life, you will be confronted with situations in which getting fucked up will definatly be an option. by saying a week or so in advance "i'll drink on new years, but have no more than (x) drinks", you'll be setting sane and reasonable limits and expectations for yourself. lets face it...you will drink again. you will probably smoke pot again. if you are mentally prepared for your first venture off the wagon and do it as a social thing, not because you are depressed, frustrated, sick of being sober, etc, you have a far greater likelihood of not falling back into the same patterns. just PLEASE for the love of GOD make sure that you're in a safe environment (not an effing party) and NOT with a present or former enabler who will only push you to to go all out "cos it's new years" or some dumb shit. make sure it's someone (or someones) who will respect you and your situation. take it from she who has (mostly) beaten a pretty bad drinking
