dry september - an early finish

I did start my dry September experiment slightly early and that might justify an early finish, but to be honest that wouldn't be telling all of the story.

The real story is that after three weeks I just wanted to sit down with my wife, watch a film and have some wine. Not much thought, or angst about failing to hit complete the whole month of September - just something I wanted to do.

I had broken the habit, proved I could decide to do something and then stick to it and in the end decided I wanted to end the dry spell when I wanted to. Dates on calendars are just dates.

A little bit of abstinence is a good thing, I definitely appreciated the taste of the wine more and breaking bad habits is good for the soul, edging out the bad ones and creating some new, better ones is probably one of life's secret skills. Should probably practice this more.
