I missed it live but watched it later. Once in awhile Saturday nights are date nights. People don't realize that everyone should do what you're doing. Last October I did a 'Sober October' just to see if I could do it. Then did a 'Dry January'. I don't tell you this to show off or pat myself on the back but sometimes you've got to take a break. We are literally drinking what our body considers poison. I have the luxury of putting controls in place that you as a WhiskeyTuber would struggle to do because of filming content. I only drink whisky after dinner. I only have two shelves that I use for storage of whisky(45-50 bottles). I have a three drink maximum(there are exceptions but those are for special occasions like weddings or parties so 2-3 times per year) I am not saying this is a fool proof way of controlling my consumption but it works for me. I found that after the first week I lost any cravings my mind and body told me I had for it. It wasn't until the very end of the month the 2nd last day that I tried to make an excuse to end it a day early. I told myself that I'll end it a day early and take a day off next month. It's funny how your brain tries to justify your actions. I wish you good luck with your challenge. God knows we could all use a few pounds lost and a clearer mind. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. BTW Canadian Thanksgiving is in October if you feel you've reached your goal(see how your brain tries to justify). I'll look for your Saturday night stream but if you take a break from those that's cool too.
a lot to unpack. First, thank you for the support. Everything has been going well I'm on day 9 now I believe. I have done this challenge before and it was tough but a great thing to do. I have caught myself looking at the cabinet and thinking just one won't hurt, but I did not take that just one. Seeing things I want to buy is even harder. I don't think I have a drinking problem per say. A buying problem yes. Lol that's the hardest, but this challenge teaches you self-control. By the way. I haven't bought anything new either. I won't be live this Saturday I believe mash and metal will be live. I may join Sean for a bit, but we have had a death in the family, so I may be busy. We will see.... cheers and thank you again. See you soon.
