Title: 30 (+1) Dry Days
Post by: LMNO on July 03, 2012, 07:25:48 PM
#DryJuly has begun.  3 days into it.  Physically, I'm ok.  Mentally, I'm gonna struggle with the need for a martini after a tough day at work.

Updates as the month goes on.

I expect something similar to 30 Days of Eris, here.  I mean, not the same thing, but I want to see your perception of the world around you.

LET THE HATE FLOW!

Its not legal but he can get away with a bottle of water and saying its straight vodka. No one will know the difference.

Is this something you do every year?

No, but it should be.  Part weight loss, part detox, part self-diagnotsic.


Truth be told, I should probably do it more than once a year.

Well, fuck.


Anyway, I really tested myself.  On Tuesday, went to a show.  Class Actress and Sleigh Bells.  Good bands, great show, and the first show I've been to without drinking probably since I was 18.  It was then I realized how awful people are at a show (or, perhaps, in general).  Pushy, over-privileged assholes and bitches more concerned over how they look than the band on stage.  No honey, shaving half your head and wearing ill-fitting clothes does not give you permission to push your way in front of me, spill your drink on my shoes, and then spend the show chatting with your friend.  Oh, another thing: I'm not entirely convinced that the show looks a lot better on the viewscreen of your smartphone, so put that fucking thing away before I show you how sensitive it is to liquids.

Then, yesterday, it was the 4th.  I took a chance and hung out with Team Vodka at a house party.  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they're just as interesting as when I'm drunk.  We managed to avoid all jingoistic hype attached to the day and spent it just hanging out, grilling, dishing dirt, spilling T, and sticking our feet in the kiddie pool.  All in all, it was a marvelous kiki.


In conclusion:  My friends are awesome, and everyone else needs to die.  Apparently, this holds true whether I am drunk, or not.

I gave up everything except cigarettes and on very small occasion, caffeine.
I think my drunken post was the first time I've drank in a year, and it was followed by a depression. I was dissatisfied with the results.
Year and a half ago I gave up green, though I wonder if it's truly a wise choice for someone manic depressive, since I had no bouts of it while I did indulge. Made life slightly better without the depressive side effects of alcohol for me, or the zombifying effects of medication that just makes life seem....existence. I was heavy into alcohol a couple years ago, so if it's part of your daily life and you're in day 4 and see amazement in people, damn dude good job :D

Ten days into it, and this isn't nearly as bad as I thought.  It's going pretty well, now.  I even hit the clubs last weekend, and band practice, with no itching.  Surprisingly, Team Vodka, despite the name, has been really supportive and encouraging.

No visible weight loss yet, but here's hoping.

I can attest to this. I've never gotten too fucked up at shows I went out of my way to get to, since I wanted to remember stuff, but for the last couple of years I've been staying stone cold sober at shows and it drives the point home that most people are there to either get obnoxiously wasted ("LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!!"), stand around looking like bored, affected hipsters ("LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!!"), or both.

LMNO you are awesome!!! WHen I'm done quitting smoking (I'm already at 30 days whoohoo*) I'm totally going to try something similar. The only time I did a serious attempt at a dry spell a few years back I got 3 weeks out of the planned 4 ... But first, not getting lung cancer.



*minus a few joints over the weeks but I'm not counting those as they're pretty negligible compared to how many cigs I smoked. Also most of them did not even have tobacco in em anyway.

So, yeah.  Day 26.  It's safe to say I'm neither physically nor psychologically addicted to alcohol.  Which is a bit of a relief to discover, truth be told.

I do seem to have a mild social addiction to it, though; that is, in situations where I am surrounded by Stupid™, I find the urge to drink rises proportionally to the amount of Stupid™ I encounter.

Team Vodka is eager to welcome us back come August 1.  Well, August 3, really -- FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE GAY BAR!

I used to drink a lot, from my mid 20s to my mid 30s.  Turns out, I was addicted to the fun I had with the people I was with, not the booze.  I know this, because we all pretty much stopped drinking at the same time, and we still had loads of fun...With no real feeling of any need to resume drinking.

Also, I think our inhibitions don't need to be artificially lowered anymore.  We don't seem to have any.

I did it primarily for health reasons. Had some worrying symptoms. Turns out that my liver function is completely normal. Go figure. It was something else which alcohol contributed to but wasnt the primary cause so much as my shitty diet and lack of exercise.

Most days it's just a few beers or glasses of wine along with the dinner, though. Very little full out drunkenness. So maybe not Wet, but at least non-Dry.

I don't mind booze in a dry thread. And for the record, it's been a wet decade, pretty much. I'll be back to normal in a week or so.

You're almost there.

Well done sir. I had a mostly dry january and was similarly glad that i didnt really have too many problems with it. I figured out at that point i just like drinking but its not a necessity. I did it primarily for health reasons. Had some worrying symptoms. Turns out that my liver function is completely normal. Go figure. It was something else which alcohol contributed to but wasnt the primary cause so much as my shitty diet and lack of exercise.

Lies.  You're Irish.  If you don't drink, you wither up like a slug with salt on its back.

Oh please spare the stereotypes.

Next thing you'll be saying is that he eats potatoes as a staple diet and owns a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

So, yeah.  Day 26.  It's safe to say I'm neither physically nor psychologically addicted to alcohol.  Which is a bit of a relief to discover, truth be told.

I used to drink a lot, from my mid 20s to my mid 30s.  Turns out, I was addicted to the fun I had with the people I was with, not the booze.  I know this, because we all pretty much stopped drinking at the same time, and we still had loads of fun...With no real feeling of any need to resume drinking.

Also, I think our inhibitions don't need to be artificially lowered anymore.  We don't seem to have any.

That's one of the great(?) things about aging. Our inhibitions gradually recede until we're saying whatever comes into our minds and exposing ourselves in public without a second thought.

Also, I wouldn't say that I'm an Irish stereotype. I would say that I'm an obnoxiously Irish person who enjoys the stereotype.

Except for the potato bit. That's that's along the same lines as "black people like fried chicken." Of course they do. Fried chicken is the shit. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes? Died and went to Tir na n'Og.

Don't recall when I did it, but it was awhile ago.  Just seemed appropriate for the conversation.

LMNO, for the record, I think what you're doing, taking a month off, is a GOOD THINGTM .  Thanks for sharing.

Besides, you're posting from a phone, which makes it pretty much impossible to stereo type.

Please note: In this instance, "rage" entailed one (1) dry martini and the gentle reminder that I had a training from 8:30 - 12:00 the next day.

See you spags at lunch.
