I’m hoping after tonight, the Plant Paradox will help me rebuild my gut microbiome. This will, I suspect, further reduce my alcohol cravings since by the end of the 3 day cleanse, I’ll kill off the majority of the sugar loving bacteria. Hopefully, this will further quell the voice that bugs me every time I drive past a liquor store.
Even crazier was the sudden appearance of my third eye. It manifested as a sensation in the center of my forehead, right above the space between my eyebrows.
A sober friend of mine brought some O’Doul’s over many years ago to watch football. He enjoys drinking non-alcoholic beer and always has some on hand. I’ve tried it before. I thought it tasted fine, but never saw the point. Kinda like decaf coffee. I just never jived with the concept.
This explanation isn’t entirely untrue, but what I didn’t say was, “I’m struggling with a potential drinking problem and I’m using daily meditation practice and periodic abstinence in an effort to get it under control. Because, you see, I don’t want to stop drinking entirely, but I also don’t want to become an alcoholic. And if I don’t do something, that’s precisely where I’m heading.” Yeah, “I’m on a cleanse” sounds way better.
The challenge is that all kinds of drinks, gourmet appetizers, dinner, and desserts will confront me at every turn this evening.
