443..

Okay, I was just now looking at the calendar and noticed that it has been two full months since my last drink!  Am I due a chip or something?  This would be the longest I have gone dry since I quit smoking back in 2000.

I am discovering that not being drunk two to seven times per weeks allows one to think more clearly.  It also forces one to deal with all those crazy emotions without the ability to drown them out with the precious.

Also, if I remain sober I do not think I will ever have sex again.  I am way too shy and introverted to broach the situation without a little liquid courage.  I am not smooth sober - not that I really am when I am drunk, but eventually persistence wins out when you are wasted and those around you are equally wasted.

Now, I have four more months of being dry and we are entering new territory.  I imagine soon my body will shut down in protest to being forced to go through life remembering all the events of the day before.  I cannot be sure, because I have never gone more than 3 months without a good buzz!  Hell, you would think cutting out all those wonderful beer calories I would be rail thin by now...someone lied to me along the way!
