Weekend Recap

Finally did what I said I was going to do - nothing. I wanted to have a weekend where I ate relatively healthy on my off day (Sunday) and not drink or go out. I think myself, Craig and our friend Nick decided to move to a place in Long Beach, NY. It was fun going to look at the place, meet the landlord and all that, it's pretty exciting. Moving out is always stressful, but this feels the least stressful so far compared to the others. I was happy with myself being at two separate bars this weekend and only having water. I made a committment and getting through the first weekend was probably going to be my biggest hurdle. Now I have time invested and it will be hard for me to throw it away knowing how satisfying it was to do. I'm a week into a three week dry spell and I already feel much better. As shitty as it sounds, I don't think I've gone longer than a week without alcohol more than 2 or 3 times since I turned 21. It sounds pretty pathetic but I don't think a lot of people I know have done it either. I know if I can make it 21 days I should see dramatic differences in how I look and feel and that's more important to me right now than going out and having some beers. It's coming at a very good time with a big move coming up soon and my money being real tight, I'm going to need to be as focused as possible moving forward so this transition goes as smoothly as possible.
