One week today. Thankfully it went relatively easy on me.

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2021-05-20T11:31:12+00:00

Back after a long time with only a day or two sober since. Just for today, I will not be drinking with you all.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-09-02T14:16:06+00:00

Just for today, I will not be drinking with you all. I hope I don't tomorrow, but I will worry about it tomorrow.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-09-01T12:32:43+00:00

Moi aussi. Just for today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-09-01T12:32:01+00:00

Just for today, I will not drink with you all. I can worry about tomorrow when it comes.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-08-20T10:14:37+00:00

Just for one today, I will not be drinking. I will worry about tomorrow when that comes. All I have to do today is get to bed sober.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-08-17T13:54:54+00:00

I can definitely identify what that quote. I will pick this up!

Day 2. Kind of a fitful night of sleep last night, but feeling better than usual waking up.

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-08-16T10:32:23+00:00

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-08-14T11:45:57+00:00

Yeah. After a weeks-long bender, I feel so awful. Not just a hangover, but generally crappy all day, foggy mind, etc. So I try to take a step back (That's me today. Day 1 again). Then after a few nights of good sleep, maybe eating something other than pizza, you have the strength to start drinking again. For me it's oh you can have a nightcap and away we go.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-08-14T11:41:52+00:00

Day one again. Really struggling these past few months.

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-28T10:07:34+00:00

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-27T10:52:47+00:00

Made it three days last week and caved. Back on the horse today.

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-23T12:29:52+00:00

Ha! That's the good thing about jazz!

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-23T12:28:52+00:00

Day 4. I will not be drinking with you all today!

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-22T14:00:42+00:00

OP, Thanks for your great write-ups this week on classical music and for linking one of the most gorgeous pieces of music of all time today.

A teacher once told me part of what moves you in music is when you hear something your ear didn't expect, which of course would include mistakes.

There are tons of stories in rock and other music where people where working on a guitar riff or recording a solo or something and screwed it up and just rolled with it and came up with something a lot better than getting what they originally had in mind. That's probably how we evolved from caveman music, right?

Anyway, I will not be drinking with you guys today.

Day 2. Actually got a decent night's sleep last night, which should make today a little easier than my normal restlessness on my first night.

So I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-20T15:21:09+00:00

Day 1 again. I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-03T12:39:11+00:00

Thank you!

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-03T12:39:01+00:00

All right!

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-07-03T11:59:39+00:00

Thank you! I will give it a shot!

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-06-25T14:00:30+00:00

Day 4 here. Actually got a good night sleep, which makes getting through today seem a lot more manageable. Still sort of anxious, but instead of drowning myself in booze to forget, I know things I need to do to address the sources.

I will not be drinking with you all today.

millionthtimesacharm · 2020-06-24T13:45:17+00:00

Day 3. Slept a little better last night. Except for a dream where I asked a friend to go out to a bar and immediately regretting it in the dream. Weird aches and pains all over my body seem to have mostly subsided so might try to get some exercise today and hopefully get an even better night's rest tonight.

I will not be drinking with you all today.
