sayonara to alcohol

well, not really goodbye forever. but i've set a goal for myself....no drinking for the next two weeks. just to see. i figured, hell, anyone should be able to not drink for two weeks, right? if not, i'm an alcoholic. but i can already tell you that on day two, it's been difficult. passing up sake at sushi? very very hard. but i did it. i wasn't as loud and funny as i usually am, but i did it. (do you ever worry that the drunk "fun-you" is way better than the "sober-you"? well, you should. it's probably true.) and then i also realized that going to a bar and not getting a drink really isn't that entertaining. how do the non-drinkers i know do it? if i were them i wouldn't even bother going to bars at all. which would completely shut down my social life, but that's too bad. after two weeks i've definitely got to at least get back to some rum and diet coke. that's low-cal, right?
