Putting the tree up either Friday or Saturday with my kids.

I'm either making screwdrivers or Harvey Wallbangers.

Jesus christ I can't believe Thanksgiving is in three days. Didn't we just loving have Halloween?

Yup.

This weekend was a blast after hanging out in the mountains and doing a bunch of hiking/cool poo poo. I'm back at work for a few days where I'm expecting we're gonna fly our rear end off before Thursday. I'm going to go back on my word and I will be drinking, heavily, come Turkey Day.


Also the wife's family out of Alaska is overnighting a ton of alaskan crab, and smoked salmon. Not traditional thanksgiving protein but I'm so loving stoked.

I am a firm proponent of if you can drink without tanking your life, do it up. Gentleman face adversity head on, turn this sobriety challenge into an unsobriety challenge.

Feb 1, 2004

Not gonna lie I'm feeling pretty awesome cutting my ABSURD DRINKING PROBLEM from 2-3 beers on my off days *3-4 times a week* to having one night of drinking since this competition went on.

I probably don't need this challenge to continue that, or if there's a challenge with harsher punishments such as an hour of power I can totally get behind that too.


In fact, getting wasted on Smirnoff in front of my wife in an hour could be awesome...

Nope. I only drink on the weekends though. Especially now that my laptop died. It's Friday night. Should I sit inside and read a book or watch Netflix on my phone? Nope I'm going out.

AA works if you want to stay stopped, I went from a few years ago a guy who woke up with the shakes and unable to hold a job to a productive and successful business career which I walked away from to join the military!

Whatever works for you. I still have a compulsion to have something to sip on all the time, so it's coffee/water during the day and seltzer/OJ at night.

I'm thinking about following suit with calling it quits on the semi-routine drinking. After being sober for all but one of the days since this event started I drank yesterday in celebration of america being awesome and having tons of food (lol Ethiopia). Waking up this morning in a food/booze hangover I must admit, I miss the feeling of waking up fresh that I have recently grown accustom to.
