Sometimes a really spicy beer mug size virgin Caesar (using
lower salt veggie juice) helps at home too. If nothing else it sure makes you
feel warm!
As for rewarding myself, that idea seems odd to me because I'm afraid I'll feel I've accomplished everything then, when in fact I know I can ruin it all the next day. So I feel that not drinking is only as good as how I'll do
the rest of today and tomorrow. Can't celebrate because I don't know how I will
do tomorrow. Having said that , and not really as a no drinking reward, but may be a celebration of sorts that I have made it this far. I just booked an end of February two weeks with a sibling in someplace I've never
been, Hawaii!!! Definitely blew the vacation budget a bit on that one. Being there in itself will present another no-alcohol challenge. On the plus side I'mtold that even a glass of wine there can cost $20. If so, maybe my frugal
(cheap) self that I blame on the Scottish part of my ancestry will be
beneficial. LOL. There is NO wine worth $20 a glass for MY unrefined taste buds.
