Good for you!
I haven't had a drink since July 2001. Not so much a drinking problem, more of a I hate what it does to people problem (one of my brothers especially).
My unit's Christmas party was yesterday. I really didn't have a problem with it then--even after we got the news that our agency's director resigned at noon! (He was . . . well, a jerk, to put it mildly.) It was a cause to celebrate, and I did with a portion of prime rib and ginger ale.
