Three down

Day three of no drinking is complete. I wonder if the first real test is the hardest, because if it is, this is a breeze. I spent some time at Floyd tonight playing bocce, while all my friends were getting drunk, yet I enjoyed a multitude of seltzer, cranberry and lime drinks. Quite tasty. The thought of ordering a drink never crossed my mind, although I'm sure I would have had a little more fun.

The problem with this not drinking thing is that bad things don't always happen while drinking, in fact, it's really only a fraction of the time. I'm sure I could have gone to floyd, had two beers and gone home and been totally fine, but I've laid down the law with myself and I'm determined to stick with it. No means no. The only way to avoid the possibility of acting like an idiot sometimes is to make sure I avoid the possibility all the time. Just the way it has to be.
