Another interesting prompt, hard liqouor. Valentine's Day no less. I wonder how much my crazy sister will drink tonight? I just sent my siblings an email that says I will see any of them who oppose me on a certain issue in court, should they so choose. I'm sure she has already bought, if not started in on, her bottle for tonight.
I won't be drinking tonight. I am happy to report that, well over a month ago, I finally didn't have that two-shot martini I was having every single night before bed. I'd go to the liquor store and buy exactly two airplane bottles, so that I would not drink more than two shots. But honestly, I was waking up after a few hours feeling nauseous and unable to get back to sleep. So the day came, a Sunday, when I didn't make it to the liquor store before closing and, since it's the only liquor store in town, I had my first night without my friendly martini. And I did not wake up nauseous!!! I felt much better the following day! The evidence is clear - two shots of vodka is too many shots of vodka for me.
So I didn't have a martini the next night, or the night after that, and here I am six or more weeks later, alcohol free. I don't know why it was so easy for me to quit this time, but I am happy that it was. I sleep better, get a lot more done during the days, and feel really good about myself.
When my cray cray sister stops drinking, maybe we can have a rational conversation.
This is my entry to @mariannewest's daily freewrite challenge. Today's prompt is hard liquor.
