In the book, Living Sober Sucks (but living drunk sucks more) Mark talks about having a game plan. I have been thinking about this for weeks. At first I thought it was silly to wait and then I reflected back on all my attempts to get rid of my social friend and they always started with a date. I totally agree that you need to have time to kick your social friend to the curb. The main reason is to have a game plan of how you are going to deal with not drinking. Especially for me where social drinking and entertaining are such a huge part of my life.
We are now into the Holiday season so trying to stop drinking now is like trying to go on a Diet while on vacation. Pretty sure most would fail. But the reverse of this is too go on the "diet"after you come home from gorging yourself on the delights of Holiday. I will deal with the Holiday season next year after hopefully having 11 months of Sobriety under my belt.
So the date is set.......so cliche'.........New Years Day. Actually Jan 2nd. It's a Monday and really football and a good bloody Mary will be in tall order after New Years Eve. Just being honest.
Okay...I have 31 days to get the rest of my Game Plan together.
