4 Amstel and a Sloeber

A quick look in my refrigerator tells me I've still got 4 Amstel beers and one Sloeber and still two days to go from the date I want to give up drinking for a while. But I managed not to buy any beer today, so I'm hoping that this will be it.

It's now 4 o'clock which I would consider to be "beer o'clock" so instead of taking one, I took the photo and started blogging.

I do not consider myself to be an alcoholic, although the last few month I was drinking to much. More like a habit of cosiness. But since I have depressions for the last couple of years (even in my dry period) I'm getting a new antidepressant and sleeping pill in one. It's new on the market and non addictive, so it sounds perfect to me. But I need to be dry for at least two weeks and then off course stay that way while I'm taking that drug.

I took the first step by telling my friends that I can not drink anymore after april 1st. I'm hoping they can and will help me. But this weekend will be my first test. We are going to do maintenance on two boats, and normally there is enough beer to make the work pleasant. But not for me this time...

Today I did not do very much. Went to work for an hour, picked up some catfood for a friend, cleaned the house a bit and did my tax return. For the rest I've been reading another friends blog.

Tonight I will take a long bath and watch a movie "Red eye" with a beer!
