Day 17 ~ Dry Waterin' Hole

Day 17

Jan 17, 2014 

My first:  I went to my neighborhood bar and did not drink alcohol

Tonight I went to Club Escapades to show that I can enter a bar, hang out, and not drink. I talked with the owners Rick and Harold. And, yes, I did not drink alcohol, just cranberry juice. I was there for about 45 minutes and I found myself quite talkative because I was explaining everything I was up to this year with “not drinking” and “doing firsts” everyday. It looks like this visit covered both of my challenges. The guys liked hearing about it and wished me luck. They explained how alcohol affected them negatively, sometimes up to 3 days later.

The next day I found myself thinking about what I want in this life and one of them is a person that will love and appreciate me for me. I feel that the universe may flow my way this time because I am discovering and liking who I am without the cover-up of alcohol.
