All In Due Time
I broke my sobriety yesterday, and no, it wasn't the first time. I'd been doing pretty well at 1 drink a week since New Years until last night. Even though I'd already had a Christalline Cosmopolitan last Friday at the Tamarind Tree (great spot - Thanks Jeremy!), I talked myself into the 'Sunday starts a new week' line and ordered a Red Bull & Jager in a tall glass with ice, using my free drink ticket. I managed to give the other free drink ticket away before I used it on myself. I sipped on this along with the Kombucha Tea I snuck into the bar. Some substitute that is working out to be. I bet it tastes really good with vodka.
I felt perfect until I was playing my set and some very lovely nice enablers kept coming back to the dj booth with shots of something-or-other. I took the apple ciddery one. I think later I took the lemon drop. So three drinks down, but I have to admit my set was pretty bangin'. The monitors were really crappy and I couldn't hear anything unless I used the headphones. So I know some of the beat matching was pretty off, but the dance floor never fully cleared, so everyone was having a great time. Nobody cared. Least of all, me.
So this morning I felt pretty oogly as 3 drinks is now, at 31, the equivalent of 6 at 21. But I cooked a big pancake and some yummy Morning Star Sausage Patties and now I'm feeling pretty good. I could use a nap. I was supposed to go up to the Summit today with some new friends Be met at Sugar last night. There's 6 inches of new snow, which is phenominal since we haven't had any new for like 3 1/2 weeks. But its a holiday so I decided to wait the day out and go up tomorrow when everyone is at school or work. Snow all week, they say!
Seems like the life, eh? It is.
But its not all parties and snowboarding. Well, it kind of is, but its still work, too. Since I got laid off my job 3 weeks ago, I've been busier than ever. I wake up every day by 8:30 and do a little Yoga. Then onto the computer until Be walks in the door by 5. Sometimes I even have lunch. Most of it is keeping up relationships. Promoting shows, sending emails, keeping my web site up-to-date. Managing details of coming events. Flyers, business cards, invitations, myspace messages. Evites. Phone calls. My new title should be 'Event Planner'. Occationally I clean the bathroom. Very occationally I vacuum the floors. Or write. At night I go to support other artists or have a gig myself. Once a week I pick away learning the guitar. I've played a few sets at home when the kitties aren't having a nap on the turntables. Sklobot came by once for a practice session. I haven't even touched the music software that I want to learn.
But flyers are off to the press for our new night at Rebar, March 1st.
And I am going snowboarding Tuesday and Thurdsay.
6 new inches!

Tea is the New Whine
I had the most wonderful breakfast this morning. 1 apple & 1 pear chopped and mixed with plain yogurt topped with strawberries and assorted nuts. Love to your digestive track! Yum! This year has marked the beginning of many changes, and one of those changes is... Hold, on, I have to go to the bathroom. Okay, I'm back. One of those changes is my focus on health and nutrition. I have to say this change actually started with Be. After Burning Man, as a gift to herself, she decided to go sober for a year. Her sobriety also encompassed a change in eating & sleeping habits. More sleep and Organic foods. More vegetables, fruits and grains. After gorging on chocolate and candy during Halloween, she decided to turn her 7-year vegetarianism into vegan. And after visiting a magnificently delicious all Raw foods restaurant in San Francisco called Gratitide, she almost went all raw. Luckily, she decided against completely raw when her resources mentioned that changing to raw too quickly could cause a person to form allergies to regular vegetables.
I watched her transformation closely, impressed with her determination (which I generally refer to as 'stubbornness'). Her skin cleared up and her eyes brightened. Sometimes her pupils were so big, I would secretly smell her breath for herb. There was none. Her health was truly vibrant. I began to wonder exactly what 13 years of nearly daily alcohol intake actually does to ones liver. I thought about how it would be nice to not have to overdose on vitamins in order to help my body recover from the weekend. And, most importantly, the current treatment of my body was causing me to get fat. Ok, so that was the real reason.
After New Years Eve, I decided to make the plunge, if only for a while.
Its amazing what one can learn when they deprive themselves of that which they are so accustomed. I'm not quite as extreme as Be is. I'll probably never give up caffeine (the tech geek's cocaine!) and my current favorite snack is still pickles with cheese. (Don't forget to drink the pickle juice. Very good for you). And while I haven't cut out alcohol completely, I have cut down to less than 1 a week. I knew that alcohol would be my biggest challenge, and it is. Hard liqueur has not been a big deal, though I did indulge in a Kahlua and Cream in Hawaii, but I do believe that is the opposite of 'hard liqueur'. Oh yeah, and I did have 1 sake during a group sushi dinner which I attribute to peer pressure.
One thing I've learned, among the many, is that I love the taste of beer and wine. Seattle is a metropolis for Microbrews and our wineries are globally known. The second thing I learned is the sheer availability of alcohol. I could drink for free on most days. Our break room at work always had good beer in the fridge and wine in the cupboards. As a DJ, I could definitely drink for free during nights I was playing and many other nights from friends who wanted to give back some love for my never-ending plight to produce parties with great vibes. And wine with dinner is truly a taste of heaven.
Most of it is just changing your habits. And let me tell you, it is not easy. Last night I tried a non-alcohlic beer, Erdinger Non-alcoholic Weiss (that was surprisingly good) to indulge my fancy for the taste. I sneak bottles of Kumbucha, which I found is also a favorite among DJ's Packy & Kadeejah Streets, into clubs to fulfill the need to hide my social nervousness behind my glass. They are easy to sip on and even have a bit of an alcohol taste to them due to the fermentation process (but beware of the 'worms'). Thrown into a large glass with ice, they look like a double Red Bull & vodka (and often have a similar effect). I no longer work at my daytime job, so the temptation during the end of work day has been tucked away nicely. I completely avoid the wine section of Trader Joes altogether. And at home, we have every tea imaginable and some that are illegal in most states.
Its been hard, really hard. I don't know if this is a complete lifestyle change or just an dry run in discipline. Be says she thought it would be hard at first then get easier, but its quite the opposite. I agree. Spending 2-3 nights a week in bars and clubs and NOT drinking is hard. But the keys to success, at least for me, are letting go of each desire as it tugs at my shirt tails and the support of my friends. And knowing that tomorrow I will feel so much better, about myself and my body, when I wake up.
