Life List #80
Well. I did it. I went a whole month (August 31st to September 30, 2010) without alcohol. Not by circumstance, but by choice.
It wasn't hard, and it wasn't 100% easy either. It helped not going to bars and all that nonsense. But Labor Day, hot tub nights, hard days at work, and the occasional date proved to be interesting to say the least. And explaining the whole thing to people...well, no one got me. I got a lot of "What?! Why?!" and "Are you pregnant?" and "Are you on meds?" No, no, and no. It's just something I wanted to do because I wanted something to cross off my list. Something I wanted to do to prove to myself I could. Will power, determination, and all that jazz.
And it helped me loose 5 pounds. I swear. And now the time has come, for me to jump in the spa with a glass of wine. Huzzah!
