Drying Out

terracinque: (bridesmaid revisited)
I haven't had anything to drink since Saturday. No, I don't think I have a drinking problem, and this isn't a declaration that I'll "never drink again" or anything like that.

It's just that with the recent unpleasantness, and everything I'm dredging up in therapy, and the fact I'm training for a marathon, and that I'm trying to drop a few pounds, and that I'm trying to save money...

...I just figured alcohol is a distraction I should avoid for the foreseeable future.

So far it feels really good, but I know there will be challenges. Hashing will be more complicated, because drinking is half of what it's all about; but I think I'll be hashing less for a while also. There's too much else to be done with my weekends to spend all of them on a bunch of drunk idiots, however friendly and jovial they may be.

Also, I'm going to a wine and cheese party tomorrow evening where I won't know any of the people (and that's the point of the party). I wonder if I can get grape juice or something so it looks like I'm having wine? If people know I'm not drinking they'll think I'm a bluenose, and that's not the first impression I want to create.
