I need to take better care of myself. There is no point in going to the masseuse or acupuncturist to feel better if I’m not making efforts on my end.

My current problem is that I am a social drinker. Unfortunately, I’ve been out and about socializing for many nights in a row, several weeks in a row. It didn’t help that the parents were out of town this week, but they’re back now! I am quitting the booze for an indefinite period of time. I can have fun without it, and my liver would appreciate it very much.

Tonight, I hung out at a happy hour, sipping on my ginger ale. I also went out for dinner at a place that is known for their ciders [of the alcoholic variety]. I drank water with my crepe [photo is of friend's crepe]. Later in the evening, dancing to 80s music with another ginger ale.

So begins the detox.
