Back in mid-December,
I posted that I was going to attempt to make it the entire month of January without any alcohol whatsoever. I was going 'on the wagon'. This was a personal choice, and to be honest it hasn't really been all that bad. I went the entire first week without any serious cravings or any slip-ups. I switched to drinking more water, cranberry juice, limeade, etc.
During that first week, however, I missed a few things I would have preferred to be able to take part in. The first 'challenge' to my month of sobriety was a really enticing sounding keg from
Black Raven Brewing, put on tap January 4th at
Brouwer's Cafe. From Brouwer's description: "
It's a Stout with Oak, Theo's Chocolate Nibs, Coffee, and Pecans Soaked in Kahlua and Rum." OK. You've gotta admit, that sounds incredible! It was the first time I really asked myself why I was doing this(?) Why deny myself just for the heck of it? But I stayed away.
