I did make it to the liquor store yesterday after al. I bought a liter of vodka figuring that would be about right for the weekend. I drank more than I should have last night, about 12 oz. I can honestly say that it did not make me feel all that great. Usually, I do enjoy the feeling, but not last night. My allergies acted up, I got a little headache and overall regretted it. This morning was not much different. I still had a headache and was a little slow to get going. However, after a couple of cups of coffee and a good solid one hour workout at the gym, I felt much better and had a good day at work.
So, now the new goal is to make it through the weekend without picking up any more. I have 20 oz left. That is almost 7oz a day, not too much actually. The key will be to not drink early in the day. If I can have small 4 shots each evening, that would about do it. Wow, as I type this, I realize this is going to be tough.
Anyway, the goal would be to not pick up for the weekend, and then go the work week without it. I plan to start the juice cleanse I mentioned previously next Friday. On the cleanse, I will not be able to have anything but juice and water for 3 days. That, of course, includes no alcohol and caffeine.
