After the excessive amount of alcohol drank last week I am going to attempt to remain sober for awhile.
I really had thought I kept it together well last Wednesday at the open mic night, but when I looked at the videos and heard the things I said it became clear to me that I was quite wrong in that belief. I was mumbling like an idiot, stumbling around, and generally acting like someone who was lucky not to be thrown out of the bar.
Then came the weekend. It was probably a time when i should have kept my drinking in moderation anyway, but of course I was on vacation so I doubt there was ever more than a 6 hour window when I was not drinking alcohol. The realization hit me that I may drink too much Sunday night when I got home from the airport and thought to myself, "wow I did good today, I didn't really drink much at all." Which was promptly followed by, "except for the 2 beers at breakfast, the 5 beers at the party, the final beer at Jamie's place... Fuck" So I had already mention to Jamie that I was going to try and detox for a few days and that pretty much sealed the decision. So here I am, on day 4 of sobriety. I don't see what the big deal is about.
Kaylee asked me how long the sobriety would last. When I said I didn't know, she asked if it was going to be like the beard and as much as I complain and say I don't know how long I'll keep it, for some reason it stays around. Somehow I'm willing to bet not shaving will last longer than not drinking.
