failure of the will
Once a year or so, I take a hiatus from alcohol for a month. I use it as a jump start to getting healthy, since I get so many empty calories that way. This year, I planned on 5 weeks, and was going to get back on the wagon for the Kentucky Derby. And then our first nice day of the year hit on Friday, and I broke with 2 weeks to go. I just couldn't seem to pass the empty outdoor patio in the sun at a local bar. I love sitting by myself and reading, and not talking, just being. And yes, I could have done that without a drink, but I didn't want to.
The 3 weeks were a good start though, as today I am wearing pants that were more akin to sausage casing than trousers the last time I grabbed them from the closet.
