I'M SORRY OFFICER IS THERE A PROBLEM!?

It's been 10 days since I last had a drink. This is my first self-enforced sobriety period for the year. I haven't had a drink sice Schützenfest and I won't be drinking until Australia Day. I'm working on a theory where I should only drink on cultural holidays. Basically the end result should be me experiencing a lot more cultures.

It has been refreshing experience. Every part of my body feels alive and is screaming at me with whatever nerve impulses it has to share that were previously dulled. My stomach doesn't curdle every few mornings and my brain is sharp and agitated. It's been good to reaffirm I'm not an alcoholic and I don't require it to get by. In the days gone I've eaten BBQ without a beer; danced at Shenanigans completely sober; programmed without a glass of wine. Hell, I've even been in to work! It's great to know I don't have a problem.

I'm so sober. So very sober. My brain feels like it could handle multiple tasks at once and I'm peeing about four less times a day. This hypersensitivity to external stimuli is starting to get to me though. I've never felt so alert. When I was coming home from work tonight I got random breath tested and I blew -0.05
