Sugar ban/ Alcohol ban-day 2

So here goes day 2 of my sugar/ alcohol abstinence. The idea is to consume neither for a month. On the sugar side of it I can still consume fruit but no added sweeteners of any kind including maple syrup, agave, brown rice syrup or any other some such sweetener. Yesterday was the first day. It went off okay, I had sugar cravings of course but not much temptation being that I'm in boston hanging out with my parents and I stayed in all night. Tonight will be more challenging. I'm going to an old friend's party and of course there will be alcoholic social lubricants. Its always awkward not drinking at first at parties, unless there's dancing. It'll be interesting to see how this ban will effect me physically, mentally and socially if at all. Hopefully I'll be able to see it through. I supposed it'll be a test of my will. I've never been too impressed with my will. Perhaps the profound feeling of accomplishment that I'll feel at the end of each day will be enough to dissuade me from cheating. HA! Or maybe just writing about it here will give me enough of a sense of accountability to stick to it. Will see.
