Off The Sauce

Egypt

Jason and I agreed that while in Egypt we would be good Muslims and abstain from alcohol. This is probably the first time since high school that I have gone three weeks without a drink. Hopefully I will pass the time without cravings or shaking hands and emerge from the other side of the sobriety tunnel assured that my enthusiasm for drink is more hobby than profession. I think of it as a kind of home alcoholism test. A pleasant side effect is that I am guaranteed to be hangover free for awhile, and that is quite a blessing. My day afters are getting alarmingly worse as I age.
