Week Three

Alcohol Consumed (units)
0

Days Without Booze
What’s today, the 20th? That many.

Disposition
Booze? What booze? (other than craving a Caesar for the last week and a half. I might make virgins this weekend.)

Irritability (scale of 0-10)
3ish

Outlook
I may never drink again. Except that I know I will But I’m stoked that my tolerance will be gone and I’ll be a cheap drunk again (just like I used to!).

Shakes
None!

Smugness (scale of 0-10)
0. I feel pretty smug about being cigarette-free for almost three weeks, but that’s all canceled out by the pot I’ve been smoking the last week.

Sounder Sleeping
So much sleeping in. Weird dreams still (unless I’m really high before bed).

Substitute Activities
Pot. So much cleaning & tidying of the kPad 2.o. Minor creative endeavors.

I’m pretty well addicted to my Knotty Boy products (and since they’re Canadian, I have no problem finding them in Calgary) but the Dread Fusion website has some great tips and techniques for dreadlocks, from preparation through implementation to maintenance and removal.

Alcohol Consumed (units)

0

Disposition

Tired, but that’s because I’ve been working overtime and then I go home and don’t to sleep on time and then I don’t wake up on time and it’s like one of those vicious thingies. I’m drinking more coffee and the nic withdrawal nightmares have stopped.

Irritability (scale of 0-10)

4 at work, 2 at home. There’s never enough time! I’ve been meaning to fill up my water bottle for the last 2 hours and am glued to my seat.

Outlook

Psh, I go this! I’m a feeling a bit weird about going to show at a bar tonight and not drinking. Especially when bringing together two very different friends. But I got this!

Shakes

I’m back to two cups of coffee a day (when I can fit it in) and not even that is shaking me.

Smugness (scale of 0-10)

still 2. It really isn’t a big deal and I really would love a Caesar.

Sounder Sleeping

Probably? I’m still having pretty intense dreams but I think that’s a result of overall sobriety more than it is booze specific. And I can’t remember them as vividly as last week so I think I’m kind of leveling out.

Substitute Activities

Working. I’ve put in 5 houss of overtime this week and might stay tonight if I wasn’t going to the Mother Mother show. Sent off five postcards to friends yesterday and have been trying to do some life organizing/planning. My kitchen is a mess. I’m going to create stuff this weekend. Lots of Daria, in no particular order.
