This morning when I woke up I was aware of this being day 5, and of a wondering, how long has it been since I went 5 whole days not drinking? Also aware that this evening we are joining friends from out of town at a restaurant. I’m noticing that setting the intention now, not to drink then, feels right. And also noticing how a restaurant is a place where one wants to drink!
Later the same day: Back from a lovely dinner at Suraya with dear friends. Below, a photo of “Among the Boughs” my zero-proof drink which included sahlab, abstinence aperitif, fresh citrus, Thai basil & tonic. Yes there are two words in that description that are mysterious! But no matter, that drink was *tasty.* Day 6, here I come!
