Give up each of my vices for one week on a rotating schedule in effort to teach myself how to avoid them

Starting on a Tuesday, but oh well. I’ve been drinking nearly every day and need to slow down. No alcohol for a week.

This week I’m going to be in bed by 10pm and up by 8 every day. Starting Monday night, ending Friday morning. Reasonable weekend bedtimes and wake up times will be in effect over the weekend as well. In effort to reach this goal, I’m going to try to not be online at all in the evenings.

I haven’t been using this goal lately.

This week, no drinking (ok, maybe light drinking, but not alone!) and extra water.

I’ve been feeling yucky. Hope this helps.

I’m going to be celebrating digital detox week starting Monday!
I can’t go cold turkey, because I work on my computer, but I’ll be trying really really hard to limit my time online to just work and one email check per day. Also, I plan to not text message and not watch TV or listen to the radio! I will let myself listen to CDs on my long drive over the weekend.

Last week I had a crazy work schedule and did very well on getting up on time, going to bed early and not spending much time on line. OK, so that was only the weekdays (when I was working 13 hour days away from my computer), but the weekend wasn’t too shabby either.

This week I’m going to go for no alcohol. I seem to be easily hung over lately (possibly due to a mild cold?) and I’d like to avoid headaches in the morning this week so I can have another super-productive work-week even without the motivation of field work.

This week I’m going cold turkey from blogs, 43things, webcomics and a few of my other time wasters. Starting… NOW.

This week I’m going to eat super clean.

This week I go to bed on time.

This is a strange week since I’ll traveling for new years. So I’m just going to continue with no-alcohol week until my long weekend starts and then I’ll pick a new goal for next week.

So far so good with it. Made me realize how much I wanted to drink when i was just around the house by myself, it was kind of shocking actually. Lots of little discussions with myself (aka, I was hearing that pushy voice trying to make me break the rules).

I have been drinking way too much lately.
This week, Christmas week, I will not drink at all, not even my holiday homebrew.
