Day 90

Posted 11-16-2008 at 06:23 AM by HopeTo180

The other day I was out running errands. I was caught across town at rush hour. I decided to eat dinner and head home in a couple of hours. As I sat down to eat a 2 hour meal at Chili's, I noticed a few patrons with the same idea. They were ordering drinks. I thought I could have a couple. The scolding began... "why on earth would I want to do that?" "If I'm not going to get drunk, why even get started?"..."I don't want to get drunk!" "It would be nice...

Day 83

Posted 11-09-2008 at 08:09 PM by HopeTo180

It's two weeks into my exercise routine. I'm amazed at how quickly I can change. Routine is everything! I feel I must do something each day. It take me but a few seconds to decide and out the door I go. Where did I get so much energy? I feel addicted to moving. I went from doing nothing to doing everything. Wow, what happened? It's "routine" again! Even if you fake a routine, to begin with, it will eventually stick. That tells me that each one of us can become exactly what...

Day 77

Posted 11-03-2008 at 03:53 PM by HopeTo180

Yesterday I thought about drinking. The thought just came out of the blue. Although it's been awhile since I'd given it a moments thought, It appears to be still with me. I thought of all the disadvantages of having "just one" and quickly focused my attention elsewhere. I cannot, for the life of me, see the "need' to ever drink again. There is absolutely no advantage. There are however, many, many disadvantages. I'm exercising every day and feel more alive now than the past...

Day 71

Posted 10-27-2008 at 10:34 PM by HopeTo180

Well, there's nothing to enter really. Just the same routine. A healthy routine. I bought a new bicycle, a Brompton. It folds up very small so I can take it anywhere. It's hand made from England. I installed a small gas motor on it for long trips. The thing really flies down the road. I'm getting back into photography now. I ride the bike for miles and miles taking photos and video. I carry a hammock for some serious chillin' -- talk about an escape! When I get tired of peddling I just...

Day 66

Posted 10-23-2008 at 07:27 PM by HopeTo180

I watched MythBusters tonight (Tivo) and they did some drinking experiments. They got totally hammered to see if coordination and attraction, to the opposite sex, would be effected.

I wondered if I were on that show and sober, if I'd be able to do that "for the cause". I wondered if any of these three stars were "sober". Hmmm

After some thought... I know that I have an addictive personality. I go with either extreme, to kill myself or nestle...
