Well its October 14th and despite my lack of blog postings possibly indicating that I have spent much of the last 7 days boozing my head off its to the contrary.
Not a drop of alcohol has passed my lips in nigh on two weeks now, and you know what? Feels pretty good.
Not amazing - its not like the kind of new person feeling you get when you give up smoking, that was really
different, and I can't compare it to anything else because I never did anything else enough to know that
I was actually giving it up by simply not using it anymore.
But still, good. I can get up in the morning at the drop of a hat. I don't have a hangover, I don't fall asleep in the early evening and I seem to have a much better short term memory. Oh and my skin is nicer, less oily and more natural. I've also lost a little weight around the waist.
All in all its really rather positive and I'm that much more determined to make it to the end of the month this time.
Come Halloween Im having a drop though, that much is sure. Its nice to have a break but I do like a glass of the old vino and no mistake. I have been drinking less this year (I think) than I used to, I certainly get drunk drunk a lot less than ever before but I still do drink booze too much for my liking and certainly more than the RDA
for a man.
So once this month is over I'm going to be drinking in moderation a lot more, taking 3 days off drinking each week. Thats a good start I reckon. No alcohol on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays. Let's see how I handle that.
