Well, this time my 30 day minimum abstinence from alcohol began upon my return from a Mexican vacation. We went to Cancun on Sept 10 for my birthday and stayed until Sept 14. Five days of drink at least a bottle of tequila a day in addition to whatever I ordered from the bars. Strangely, I never got buzzed. Maybe it was because it was so hot and I was sweating it all out. Dunno. Anyway we both decided when we got back we would go on a hiatus for at least 30 days. Got my lab results back and my glucose was at 101. Not terrible, but over the threshold of 100 nonetheless. Today is day day 5 of no alcohol. Hasn't been bad this time. I thought I would have a hard time sleeping, but hasn't been an issue. Have been having some vivid dreams though.
