Here's to Life
Congratulations!  You made it to the final day of the competition!  I’ll give you an easy prompt to end on 
How do you celebrate your successes?
Same way I celebrate my failures.
That's one of the many, many beautiful things about alcohol. Had a major success? Drink! Suffered a terrible failure? Drink! Day was just okay? Drink.
Of course, I'm aware that I'm privileged in that regard - not only to have access to some of the best fermented and distilled beverages created in the history of humankind, but also because I'm fortunate to not be an alcoholic. Thus, I can enjoy drinking, but I don't need it.
I know some people will assert that this makes me an alcoholic in denial. Those are not people I want to associate with.
Unfortunately, I won't be celebrating my successful completion of 30DBC in that manner; I'm still focused on weight loss and probably will be for several more months. But never fear - I'll make up for it when I go to Vegas. Like I said before, I haven't given it up; just cut back for the sake of calories. Same as with food.
Here's a little secret to happiness, though: whatever it is you do to celebrate - sometimes, on occasion, do it even if you have nothing to celebrate. Because you really, really do, even if you don't realize it. Acknowledging that can only help you.
And with that, I'm done for the month. Stick around, though - I've got a lot more to say.
