Day #11 of 21

It is interesting to me that as the days roll along I feel myself getting use to a very different routine.

Once upon a time (11 days ago) I had to have a glass of wine or two just to make the evening complete. To be clear having one or two isn’t a problem, but for me it often escalated, just for fun. It became a habit. So did the hangovers.

Now, although the urges are still there, the magnetism isn’t as strong.

Tonight is a good example.

I was thirsty. And in my refrigerator sits a lonely beer. Very cold. Available. No one would have known. I even thought that to myself, that no one has to know. I was actually considering, for a few seconds as I leaned over in the refrigerator, ready to grab that beer, of cheating. But then I thought I’d have to write about it on this blog and it would have reduced the whole meaning of this campaign. I would have failed.

But I didn’t, and grabbed a root beer instead. That was perfectly satisfying.

So with 10 days left, I continue to resist the temptation of all my vices.

And with that, I leave with little to offer except this: tomorrow is day #1 for all of us, so whatever you’d like to change in your life, start there, and you will.
