Day 2 of C&B
Well, I am officailly 2 days into my 6 months clean and sober side show. Yesterday on my hour long commute I would have to say I thought about beer no less than 50 times. Perhaps it is because I am stopping for a while and my brain knows it is going without. And he isn’t happy about it.
I thought about wine when I got home too. A wine distributor called me while I was away asking if my group had anything going on. He had some wine at some “sick” prices and wanted to move them. I haven’t called him back yet, but that surely didn’t help. I thought about having a glass during dinner. Then football was coming so I tried to keep myself busy until that time.
I left to go pickup my daughter from volleyball practice after dinner and before football. The drive over I was able to listen to the author of “The Clinton Tapes” discuss Whitewater and various other topics. I thought about beer in between pauses. Not whiskey or hard alcohol. Just beer and some wine would be nice. I thought about getting a calender and “X”ing the days down to the day I can drink again too. Great idea I thought. Celebrate not drinking, with drinking again.
So far this morning I have been up about 45 minutes and before this post I was thinking about a beer as I was making my son’s morning bottle.

Have the wife give me a call on day 4–I’ll start preparing the straps, compresses, and get the sedatives ordered.
