Well today is day 30, my Moderation Management goal day!!!!
Looking back, I think this is the first consecutive 30 days without alcohol since I was in my early 20s..........that's over three decades.
For those of you that might be wondering if I'm going to party down and end up with a lampshade on my head the answer is a very boring and dull and emphatic "no".
I am not going to take up abstinence permanently at this point in part because I think I can take TSM further, and I haven't learned yet whether or not I'm capable of moderating (or if that is something I really want to do). I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice the ADE, but on a scale of one to ten I'd put it at about a two or a three. Anyway, Rome wasn't built in a day, and a three decade plus relationship with alcohol is a long time.
That said, the first four months of TSM has accomplished everything I had hoped for.
