Dry January – Day 1

“It’s 6 o’clock somewhere”

Who’s every used this excuse before?  Not sure when or how 6pm became a socially acceptable time to crack a beer but it’s what I’ve grown up with.  I have excused myself many times with this.  If it’s past 6pm then there’s no problem.  If I can see other people drinking on social media then there’s no problem either.  I need to stop living by other people’s standards maybe.

Now nearly 48 hours without alcohol.  This probably makes for pretty drab reading but the very act of writing this means I have to keep going.  Thankful for any support and I am glad to read others who are embarking on the same journey.

Got to be careful not to replace alcohol with coffee though.  Seems that I just want to ingest some sort of mind-altering substance, maybe I should be happy with the way things are. 

Don’t worry, I’m nearing the end of my next book and have another review I’m working on.  This won’t just become a sobriety blog. If you’re also going dry for January though, give us a like.
