Souvenirs
 
For those of you wondering what sort of classy gent has joined your group...

Day 24 for me and I was rummaging through my briefcase to find something for work tomorrow. I found the plastic bag I kept in the outside pocket for "E-Z" access in case I had to vomit while I was on the bus. I would actually set aside "good" bags for this illustrious role as opposed to the cheap, thin ones from the supermarket. I wish I was kidding.

Luckily, I never had to use them on public transit (you're welcome, Mr. and Ms. America!!), but I recall some near-misses where I had to bolt out of the bus doors like Seabiscuit from the starting gate.

I actually considered this "normal"??

I developed medically sound routines and strategies to minimise hangovers, what a waste of effort.

I'm constantly finding 'souvenirs' of my own. It's rather jolting. Nothing related to vomit disposal, but definitely some things that say, "Hey buddy! Bet you're glad you quit!"

I feel shame every time I find something, but I turn it into a positive and use it as another piece of motivation and a reminder that I've been making the right choices for the past 25 days.

I'm glad you have moved beyond that.
