RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 38: Inventions

yikes! awesome man...sorry for the booze call out! good for you my friend - I have a family of histories...I'm working on cutting back too. 2014? That is awesome - working at a brewery and being lost in the culture, I am envious of your discipline. Those big drinking days, honestly, aren't worth it (this is coming from a Sconnie, where it's an 8 day week of events if you choose to, btw)

Ha!! Yeah you know.. surprisingly enough, I haven't had to explain phone calls I don't remember making and haven't woken up in jail or anything since.

yeah, it can be bear to burden - have you blogged/written anything on your experiences? I feel like that experience you've dealt with could be helpful in these times - just a thought

Now that you ask, not really I guess. I've touched on the subject a few times but there's a lot more dark than light on that one. I've actually made a note to remind myself to write about the last time I drank, August 2, 2014, you know it's bad when the date's etched in your mind. But it's just a note, I haven't brought myself to tell that one yet cuz it's pretty bad.

How's your weekend goin, doin some gin drinkin? My mothers uncle's drink was gin. Gin & Tonic, I don't think I ever saw him drink anything else.

I am drinking some gin, but it's the NA stuff by Zero Monday. I'm on a cleanse until June, so I found your comment a bit synchronous, honestly. The drinking culture here is pretty rich (coworkers/family, etc.), so I was actually thinking of writing a book about the experience just as something to document the next few months.

I'm not much of a tonic fan, but I do like the taste of a good gin with club soda or even seltzer water. I'm also finding some decent NA beers around here...so far so good as I can't say I miss the booze thus far. How about you? You having a good weekend?

Only great if that counts is my blanket statement because trying to stay dry and it's freezing outside sounds kinda female dog'ish.

I guess for some people, yeah - I'm not too worried about it - just an experience to have
