Dry July, day six

The convenient thing about Dry July is that I will be celebrating the completion of a month of sobriety on my birthday.  That means that on the 1st of August I shall wake up, crack open a bottle of champagne and eat strawberries.

Incidentally, the first day of August is a Monday: no official work commitments other than clocking on to do small one care.  I’m sure he’ll be happy that I’ll be happy that we’ve made it through a month sans lubricant. 

It’s a funny concept, Dry July, because while you’re raising money for cancer patients in hospitals, you’re also doing something for yourself; cleansing the body of toxins and kicking the urge to round out the corners of bumpy roads.  Accept that what is now, just is.

And there I go sounding like Buddha on the Mountaintop.  As has been my wont over the last five days.  Groan.  Only another twenty-four to go, people, bear with my maxims please.
