No booze for a month......you crazy !!??
So this girl at work challenged me to go the entire month of May without drinking booze..............I immediately said, "are you f'n crazy??".......  After much debate and pushing........she is quite a damn pushy little salesperson.......I accepted a full week without booze.  This happened on Tuesday so even though I hadn't drank since Saturday night.....I now have to wait until next Wednesday to drink alcohol, ten full days!!  It was actually amazing  how difficult it has been this week.  I don't consider myself an alcoholic or even close to one but I definately like to splurge often and definately drink socially.  When friends went to the bar on Thursday after work, I had to refrain.  When somebody mentioned going to a restuarant for dinner after work last night, I had to refrain.  I knew that if I got a nice steak that I would REQUIRE a nice glass of wine.  Especially if everybody esle was...........  I can surely see why peope that have a major drinking problem have a very difficult time with it.  ALL of my friends and co-workers drink.  Every one.  I live in Manhattan so it is very simple to grab a beer (or 10) at Tequilaville downstair after work becaue its only $2 and NOBODY has to drive home.  I live 5 blocks away....(which is an 8 minute walk / stumble). 

On the other hand, I haven't woken up on a Saturday morning quite so clear headed in a long time.  I actually feel great right now at 10:53am.  I was up at 8:30 reading a magazine.  Of course its a crappy day out so there is not much desire to go to the park or anything nice but whatever.  I guess I just sit here feeling good and sober......what in the hell am I going to do tonight?  Perhaps I'll go buy a book at Borders on Park ave & 58th street.

Yeahhhhhhh........

Anybody got any good sober ideas for me tonight?   Help !!


(besides sex.....I know that.....that only burns 5 minutes anyways)

It's kinda nice waking up in the morning with exactly the same number of braincells you went to bed with!

Good luck with your week!

Um..5 minutes for sex? Hmmm...maybe that's something you could work on...just a thought!

I didn't go out last night for the first time in months, so it was pretty nice being at work today with a clear and sober mind. Don't think I will be able to pull it off again though....good luck with the rest of your week! Oh, and movies....watch lots of movies.

Really if it is that hard to go to dinner and not have wine yu may want to review your alcohol intake. As for a sober activity movies cuddled up under a blanket because it is crappy out. Just relish in the clearness you wake up with. I bet at the end of the week you will feel great.

Being a fellow New Yorker, with bars and restaurants within walking distance, I don't think I could go a week without a drink unless I was sick. Good luck with that! Why not take a Xanax and go to sleep early?
