I almost titled this post: Dominic’s Very Very Quite Dry and Incredibly Boring January – Part 1, but I thought that would sound whiny and complainy, so Dominic’s Very Dry January Part 1 it is.
I continued, “To that point, I hadn’t had a drink in 28 days, since my day after Thanksgiving debacle. I was having a perfect sober December to remember, but then suddenly, here I was, thoroughly disappointed about our canceled trip. Without a second thought, I tossed all my sober aspirations out the window. Christmas Eve would have been day 29.”
During those bygone foggy times, whenever the thought of sobriety crossed my mind, I immediately went to all the things I’d lose when I gave up pot and alcohol. I’ve even had a recovering friend describe his experiencing giving up alcohol as “losing my best friend”.
Our V.P. of Sales Operations joked, “It’s five o’clock somewhere!” (It was 11am for Tim and me). Another V.P. joked that he’d hold our boss responsible if he couldn’t make it through the rest of his afternoon meetings as he sipped on what appeared to be a neat whiskey.
