celebration

I am out having dinner and I gave into my curiosity to try my first bottle of non-alcoholic beer.

Server: "You never had one? It's pretty good... but let me know if you like how it tastes or not. If you don't I'll take if off the bill."

I'll take advantage of a risk free oppourtunity!

She pours it into a glass.

It foams up like beer.

It smells like beer.

Took a sip and I felt my brain light up like a Christmas tree, as the taste activated pathways that have been dormant for almost 2 years.

But this flash didn't last very long.

So I took another sip.

Nothing.

nothing...

Nothing.

Well it isn't like I expected to get a massive desire to have another bottle, but I thought I might have gotten some sort of emotional hit.

Maybe my brain adapted more than I realized.

Maybe my brain just puts this drink down as flavoured soda water.

Maybe my brain...

Maybe it is just evidence that I'm done with it for now.

done with it for now...

Well I never said never!

I did give myself an out if I wanted to have a beer, glass of wine or some sake.

I just didn't want to break my streak!

just didn't want to break my streak...

I was saving that moment to celebrate something big!

To make it worth it!

Now I realize this "beer" I am having is to celebrate something big.

That is I don't care to have another one.
