So it’s been a bit since I’ve posted. A lot has happened in terms of this not-drinking deal-y. I’m not really sure where to being.

I’ve drank more than just a few once since saying I was going to stop. It wasn’t a complete disaster. Last night I curled up with good beer, a blanket and the remaining episodes of Doctor Who for me to catch up on, and I had 5, got pleasantly drunk and curled up and slept like a baby. I didn’t drink until I got out of control, didn’t do anything shitty. Just got a little warm and fuzzy and giggled at a television and British people.

So, I’ve still not broken what I set out to do. I’m in damn good control over when I drink and how much I drink, which is pretty much what I set out to do. Last night was out of character from how I’ve been since I started. I’m also very aware that this is a short time period that I’m talking about, but it’s pretty significantly long compared to how I used to drink.

The few other instances I’ve drank have been in social settings where I’ve had one beer and then called it a night. Two in some instances. I went to the Redskins game last Sunday, a place I used to get blitzingly drunk and scream like a maniac. I had one beer. I still screamed like a maniac. It was fun as shit, and I’m really glad I spend a sporting event sober. It’s a pretty new thing for me.

In the trying new things personally, that’s crawling a bit, but it’s going. The whole self-confidence thing is coming around a bit. That’s pretty exciting. I asked out a waitress! A cute waitress! And ran into her tonight and wasn’t a complete disaster. I’ve talked to women sanely. That’s pretty cool, too. This should be a fun new little ride type thing. Thanks for stickin’ around.
