It’s Non-Stop Rain and I’m not drinking Alcohol
Grey
Dreary
In between weather
No alcohol to fall back on
Day 39 sober
Popping Excedrin to get a caffeine buzz
Taken to my watch collection
Marking time working from home
This classic ORIS Pointer Automatic
I remember buying it on the watch channel
One summer night at around 3am years ago
It’s a classic piece with vintage elegance
I go for that kind of thing
A rogue by nature but with good manners
Wearing a watch inside with nowhere to go
On point
On time
A nap could be forming

If I still chewed gum I’d be chewing it
Not too many vices left, need to find some trouble

I've just recently taken up chewing gum.
A rubber band who due, but I do like that burst of flavor for a hot 30 seconds.

You have good taste. Really liked this and I am happy if I had part in the inspiration. I wonder what kind of trouble are you looking for? ;p

Thank you
It's temporary most likely but going to keep the sobriety going till the end of year and reevaluate from there.

Tales if sobriety. Have heard many of them. I sincerely hope that as you reevaluate, you realize the impact of sobriety on your life or vice veresa. I also hope that you take the high road. In case you are wondering, that ain't drinking. Sounds like you are white-knuckling it.

For myself and for others around me
Its complicated but it makes you stronger

Yeah, it's definitely a plus not to be drinking right now
I cut way back on all vices
No booze
No chocolate
Small amounts of caffeine
Drink of choice Is water
All summer i was drinking Gatorade Zero but what makes it sweet is kind of scary so that's going away too
You are wise to cut back where you can. Everyone has to do it their own way and find their own plan.
I was loving whiskey too much and I wasn't even drinking g a lot of it.
Each day without it is a milestone
Good luck to you
Your priorities are in line ....

I've always thought how interesting the mechanism and all the inner workings of a well crafted time piece can last a long time. Maybe with this passage of time, appreciating the past while still trying to social distance gives us a deeper perspective.
Glad to hear you've gone 40+ days and counting. Hopefully once the rain is over, you'll have great and clear skies.

It’s a interesting phenomenon cutting back on vices.
I like to stay I stopped drinking more so than i quit. I definitely feel healthier but I know myself so I think this is a one day at a time experiment.
It’s the longest I’ve ever gone without a drink ...
Thx for the street cred Wally 👍
