wow
I can't really believe I am writing this. I made it through my gig, played great, made it through the after party drinking water, and all without a drink. I really can't believe this. Wow... I was so so so close. I said to my friend, keyboardist on the gig, that my nerves were driving me nuts, which they were, before hitting the stage for the first set, and that I just needed a half glass of wine to calm my nerves. She said, "I'm not gonna tell you either way to go because I want you to be happy, but all I'm going to say is if you think you can stop after half a glass then go ahead, if you can stop after that half glass". That was great advice as I knew I couldn't. If I'd had that half glass I'd still be at the after party with everyone right now... so that was my night. Longest I've gone in years, 10 days as of now...
Thank you SR and thanks for reading...
