Feb 2019

My not drinking days usually were Tuesday& Wednesday. I shopped on Thursdays and often would reload. Being a sipper, that was my pattern. I could & did nurse a glass during daytime. Being retired made day drinking easier for me.

One of my oddest thought abour drinking, I was in my 1st 100 days, a random Sunday night , brushing my dog & half watching TV, I saw the time on the cable box 10:15 ish, and a helpful piece of my addiction whispered.".the liquor stores close at 11, you got time." I was stunned at the unbidden thought, I was brushing my dog for peter sake! I didn't go out that night.
