3. PRACTICE TEETOTALISM

temperance movements never work, but for the sake of my health i think i can give my liver a one-year vacation. changing my life means i must break old patterns, and i'm not going to live into the 22nd century if i keep up the benders. this is supposed to be hard, i think. and it should take some sacrifice. so i won't drink in 2009.

except for kombucha, or, as i like to call it, hippy moonshine.



update:

that isn't my hand or my kombucha.

i feel like i should be more honest about why i am doing this. i spend a lot of my day regretting things. i want to minimize the amount of time i spend doing that, and since i do it more when i drink, i think i shouldn't drink.

i became irate when i opened a bottle of kombucha & it exploded all over my cashmere sweater. i haven't been angry in a long time, and the rage made my body hurt. and then i thought, it's just a sweater, what am i really angry about? i'm not sure of the answer.

i almost drank a margarita with dinner but was saved when my friend, who is diabetic, informed me of how much corn syrup is in the mix. it's as if i'm trying to sabotage myself.

small steps. it's the end of day 3 and all resolutions have been kept so far.
