On February 12, 2018 I embarked on a life-changing journey to go a full 90 days without drinking a drop of alcohol. I imbibed more than I cared to and thought that taking a break from alcohol would be a great activity for Lent. Alas, having been entrenched in a drinking culture for more than […]

It’s exactly 3:04 a.m. on a Monday morning as I type this post. I’m on Day 358 totally alcohol free and one of the things I do now that I’ve broken up with the booze is that I rise up early in the morning. Sometimes too early, like today. But as I sit here in […]
