There once was a time that I possessed a stalwart will-power more steadfast than the most devout of individuals. I would adamantly stand the only person in a crowd, unwavering, determined, and overly confident that I was always right and every other douchebag person that disagreed was moronic and "obtuse" (admittedly a "closed" way of thinking and "acute" math pun to boot).
I still often feel this way but now I drink a shit ton more alcohol.
This is a brief passage outlining my goal to participate in "Sober 'Tober". "Octsober", if you will. Or whatever else you want to call it. I didn't drink the first 19 years of my life but since I started boozing in college there has undoubtedly not been a full month's period without drinking an alcoholic beverage. Not sure if that is normal? I may be naive but I would gander that 95% of 25 year olds consume at least one alcoholic beverage a week, yet alone in a month. And correct me if I'm wrong.... but the 5% that don't consume the casual drink are probably the ones that understood my "math" pun to any "degree". (too much...)
Why, you ask, would one want to participate in such a foolish event? Pride? Fear of alcoholism? To save money? To lose weight? All noble causes I suppose. I guess it's a mix of each a to a certain extent. Well that and the month of October has no proverbial "drinking holidays" and I have to wake up at 5am on weekdays to drive to my rotation site...Basically, October offers the most likely scenario in which to accomplish a month of sobriety and additionally prove to myself that my ego is indeed still bigger than yours.
Wish me luck, count down the days, or offer support but please don't offer me any Jack Daniels because I will put you in a fucking "triangle" hold. (Goddamn i make myself laugh when things come full "circle"..)
