My comment on this post pretty much says it all.  I love the Crucial Minutiae blog — it’s a great model for group blogging — but nothing can top Therapy Thursdays for me.

I am extremely resistant to making changes in my life that seem like restrictions.  I had a somewhat strict upbringing, and as a result I often feel like I should allow myself to do anything I want to do, anything I like.  Molly’s comment on this post makes me think though.  I’m not drinking for a while, and it’s making me feel pretty amazing, both physically and emotionally.  I don’t have dependency issues with alcohol, but it has certainly created awkward situations for me in the past.  Not so long ago, I would have felt like not drinking was a huge restriction, but now it feels like something I’ve just let go of to be better to myself.

I can’t wait to hear more from Kimmi on how this cleanse goes for her.  I’ve been thinking about doing a cleanse for a while but 40 days is sorta hardcore.
