Day #15 of 21

Almost free… almost free at last!!!

I am now heading into the home stretch. 6 more days and I’m home free. And then what? My last night on the mission will be Saturday night… and then Sunday I’m free to be crazy again.

I’m thinking about hitting all the churches that serve wine on Sunday morning and sampling them. Church hopping. Hmmm. And then I thought I’d wake up Sunday morning and make a spicy Bloody Mary. With Grey Goose vodka. Nah. That doesn’t sound too great. Belvedere is much better. That is exactly what I’m going to do.

I have been thinking about my evil diabolical plan and it is quickly coming into focus. However, I will not unveil it until the last day. It will be the most delicious, moderate partying plan ever devised by a rational human being. People will be stunned at its simplicity and cleverness.

That said, I still have to create it.

Just rambling here… nothing really clever or insightful today.

But today is day #15… which means 6 more days to go. Pretty cool.

I’m ready.

Day #8 of 21

Today was the mirror image of yesterday (day #7). I had a huge amount of energy and accomplished more than I have in a week. I cleaned the porch, organized part of my basement and took care of some business. And then I celebrated with hot chicken wings and lemonade at one of my favorite places, Tony Romes in East Aurora.

For a moment I did have an urge for a Belvedere vodka martini (dry, up, olives), but something inside told me otherwise. Within a second or two I shook my head as if ear mites reminded me of my mission.

I also felt I overcame some negative thinking better that I have in the recent past… is it possible that biochemistry and detox are slowly having their effect?

There is still a long was to go in this campaign. 13 more days. Anything can happen. But I plan on staying the course and if I succeed, party on a lakeside beach with a few people I love dearly.

So with a great purpose I pursue day #9… an interesting journey indeed.

Day #1 of 21

This is Day #1 for me. All the other days I’ve experienced are gone. Finished. Fini. But today is right here… in my hands, my eyes.

I think I have abused this wonderful mind, spirit and body I live in. It has been driven like a mountain bike on hot asphalt, instead of the high performance vehicle it is. OK, and I’ve also had a blast.

Today my machine will be treated as it should have been treated over the last, many years. It will be taken care of like the gold mine it is. Or at least a really good coal mine.

Today is Day#1… my goal is to be drug and alcohol free, alas, for 21 days.

I was also thinking of buying a bike and riding into the wind. Of course, I need a scarf. And music playing in the background.

We’ll see where it goes.
