Day 8 – Alcohol Free Daily Double & Pot Free Fortnite!
My inclination to drink beer is diminishing. It is not completely eradicated like marijuana, but the desire to not drink is gaining power over the once ever present desire to drink.

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 pulled down a five pound bag of various mini chocolate bars, and went to town. I should have known better, but I figured in my compromised state that the ol’ sugar for beer swap-a-roo was the lesser of two evils. Maybe, but…
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.”
Having survived the gauntlet of the dual threat of cold beer in the fridge and pot smoke filling my house, I feel like I’m up for any challenge!
