Self-revelation, which is what journals are for, no?

I'm doing a few weeks dry as mentioned before.  This time it's led to revealing something I hadn't realized.

It came up in a conversation with Herself yesterday when we were talking about my mood lately.  She questioned if the dry had anything to do with it, and I automatically responded 'Well yeah.  I have so few joys in life and drinking good booze is one of them'.

Seeing myself in that light, the result of the dry is I'm eating more and smoking more cigars.  Replacing the booze with other simple pleasures I suppose.

I think the auto-answer was an important point.  I really do have few joys and pleasures left in life.  Taking even one small one away has an impact.

I need to think about that.

I bottled the experimental Pomegranate wine that Herself requested. Now let it rest for six or eight months.

Yes, I know it's a mishmash of bottles.  Re-use, Re-purpose, Re-cycle... right?

Weird. Euthanasia knocked off 10,000 Canadians in 2019, but Canada won't show it as a cause of death.
