I'm pushing the reset button.
Last night, for some reason, I had a martini and a half bottle of Merlot with dinner out. It was almost as though a stranger entered my head and took over the proceedings. I felt as though I was a disinterested outside observer of the whole thing. And, worse yet, I really enjoyed the martini, truth be told. I woke this morning clear headed but really disappointed with myself.
So, my new dry date is 22 November 2013. Fortunately, alcohol does not play a large role in our family holiday traditions or I would be facing a few tough weeks in the near future. I will soon change to my new dry date on my signature. And Deeker, I am still with the 24 hour club: just a bit humbler than before.
It is said that confession is good for the soul; I hope it is also good for sobriety.
