Day 17
Hi all,
So I've made it to day 17 and am feeling pretty good. There were a couple of tricky times.
Over the weekend, I was at the beach with some friends and our kids. After a long day of chasing the little ones around, as the sun was going down, my wife and friends relaxed with some gin and tonics. I managed to stick with the tonic.
Then, last night, I played my first band practice totally sober. I don't think I played better, but I felt better heading home sober after we wrapped up.
What I've found after two weeks is that what I really miss that first drink — the look, the taste, the nice glow you get from just one. What I don't miss is how I feel after the sixth or seventh, and the inevitable hangover the next morning. And for me, at least over the past year or so, one always turns into six or seven.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. These boards are great and very helpful. It's a nice community to be a part of.
