I poured the rest of my gin down the drain today.

Maybe that's not a profound statement on the surface; after all, there was only half the bottle left. But it was a 1.75L bottle, and after less than a week, there was only half the bottle left.

Proud of you.

Something about that picture though, is absolutely disgusting to me, like I can't even look at it and have no idea why.

I'm on the rag right now, and that's literally all I can think about... XD

Thanks, love. :)

hell yeah! hahaha although it's kinda funny because i discovered somewhat that the two times this week when I actually sat down and started to write substantial livejournal posts it had been when I was sufficiently lubricated with some alcohol. but luckily alcohol has always been something that i could completely care less about and go months at a time without even a drink.

Haha! Hey, sometimes it's great for getting the creative juices flowing. ;)

That's my difference -- especially socially, once I start, I have a really hard time stopping... even to the point where I *can't* stop.

I'm considering maybe trying in a year to see if I can have, say, one beer a month without craving it, but considering it's been over a week and I'm still feeling pangs, and knowing that I could very easily revert back to old habits... it's cold turkey for now. :)

Congratulations on taking this big step forward. I'm proud of you! I hope each day is a little bit easier than the previous!

Thanks, hon! It's been... what, three weeks now? And I already feel GREAT. I take that as a good sign. ;)
