Hi, I’m Enrique, I also saw the story on 7 news, prior to this i had already quit drinking, I’ve been off alcohol for 2 months now and going very strong. I woke up one morning in April with a nasty hangover thinking to myself what happened last night, how can this be classified as fun? Also not to mention that night I was involved in an alcohol fueled argument over nothing, this was the turning point for me.

I’ve been a keen runner for the last 2 years however i’m now seeing how much of a hindrance alcohol is on your fitness. I used to love to have my cake and eat it too (drink and do distance running) however you can go alot harder and further without the hindrance of binge drinking.

Like Chris i intend on not drinking for 12 months so far so good, life has never been better! fitness has improved dramatically. I’ve saved heaps and heaps of money over the last 2 months!

Over the last 2 months I’ve taken time to reflect on the period of my life from when i was introduced to alcohol until 2 months ago. I’ve wasted so much money, had so many hangovers, had many verbal fights, done many stupid things and hurt people around me. Surely this can’t be classified as fun? maybe gaining life experience. Sure there have been good times and they probably outweigh the bad but enough’s enough!

These days I’m moving forward by enhancing my training and hopefully getting to an elite level in running.

Health and Wellbeing is life

Enrique

p.s. i still love going out with friends who like to get wasted i just don’t drink! it’s good to know i won’t feel like death the next day but!
