Hooray! I have successfully completed 20 days of Sauratra. It means I have stayed smoke and alcohol free for 20 days now. Barring that 1 month in 2009 and the 10 days in 2010 during Vipassana, this is the longest I have gone without booze since I started drinking. I feel great and proud of this achievement. For me, personally, it’s a big deal. And I am sure a lot of those who know me, would agree.
Sauratra in numbers –
· 20 Days, 480 hours, 28800 Minutes and 1728000 seconds since my last cigarette and my last sip of booze – Miller Beer to be precise.
· Rs. 1000 saved by not purchasing cigarettes. (I was averaging about 10 cigs a day)
· Rs. 3000 saved by not boozing. (I spend around a 1000 bucks a week on booze. This I will continue after Sauratra. What the hell am I earning for after all! 4 days a week this man needs his booze)
These are just some minor achievements. The real achievements are probably towards my health, both physical and mental. Which reminds me I am not feeling well. I have a cold. It is 2 AM. I have work tomorrow. I must go to sleep. And I have a new toy to play with tonight. And I have not been getting a good response on my blog entries or the Sauratra page on Facebook. Will have to rethink the strategy this weekend. And I shall start by sharing the blogs during day time when maximum people are online and not at 2-3 at night when everyone is asleep. Adios!
All d best!
