Just saying (I’m proud)

After reading: The Dry Challenge: How to Lose the Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month By Hilary Sheinbaum

I must say, I am quite pleased with myself. You see, my friend found himself in a bit of a predicament with his child's mother, and he sought my counsel. We decided to meet up at our beloved sports bar to have a discussion. During our conversation, I excused myself to use the restroom. When I returned, a tempting shot of bourbon awaited me, as if it were beckoning me to partake. I gazed at the glass, a brief moment of temptation crossing my mind, but then I firmly declared, "I am more than capable of engaging in this conversation without consuming this shot. You see, I am currently undertaking a 30-day+ Dry Challenge, abstaining from alcohol." My friend's face lit up with a smile, and he eagerly responded, "I want to join you on this journey."

That is awesome. I have a friend (or 5) that could benefit greatly from something like this. Let me know how the read goes. I've found education to be highly effective in the past. I may even read the book myself. Certainly couldn't hurt!
