Change of habit

I know this weekend could be a bit difficult. The reason being that most (if not all my drinking) was on the weekend. I also seem to be event driven to have a drink (celebration/downfall). Tonight there is a birthday party for a friend of mine, I will not take part . Of the twenty plus people there I would be the only one that does not drink. So with my sobriety so short lived, at this point, I am going to skip the festivities.
A few of the attendees I will see on the trail tomorrow and they can tell and retell me all the gossip and shenanigans that happened at the party. I am sure things will change with each retold edition, much like the size of the fish that gotta-way.
It is interesting how drinking becomes so geared in your life. I felt a slight twinge to have a drink and looked over at the clock, yup, 12:30pm, saturday, beer-thirty. Not for me.
I am looking at this urge to drink as habit. Not all urges are, this one most certainly is, so "change of habit". Instead, I going to get on my bike and go for a ride. Then come home and do yard work.
