Going Out
12/03/12 • 1 Comment

So went out on the weekend, always a tough gig when one is so use to drinking to extreme excess whenever out on the town. Whats better then getting out, sober, and realising that you don’t have to be pissed as a knit to have a good night. I actually danced (some say gesticulated wildly) without the influence of the golden necture. It has taken me one HSM and one week into another for me to do this, just goes to show that you are learning new things every single day.    Always a pleasure talking to you guys, hope to have another revalation like this soon.    PEACE 

New HSM

So just starting a new three month period of no drink as of yesterday, wish me luck. Am facing new and harder challenges this time, and am probably more sceptical about how I\’m going to go.

Shit I want a beer

Dad\’s best mate died yesterday. This is the guy that taught me how to fish, drink, go camping and be a bloke in stead of some snot nose little shit. They say it takes a village to raise a child and this guy was a huge part of my village. I really would love a beer to celebrate his life, but I\’m gonna stick to my guns knowing full well another skill he instilled in me was to finish what you start and that if your not committed then you wont achieve things in life.   So I hesitate to dedicate this HSM to my Dad\’s good friend, but he will be in my mind every time I am tempted and I will get that country guilt and won\’t be tempted anymore…    Hope everyone else is doing well with their HSM program

So having decided that my brain functions so much better without alcohol I took on another subject at Uni thinking that would be an easy task. I realised three days ago that \’wait a minute, what if I start drinking again and all my subjects fall in a heap?\’ so I am here by announcing a contract extension with HSM till the end of semester, with one exception of course. I figure I might reward my three months off with one night out for our college ball and then extend the soberness another month.    wish me luck 

Separating mates from true friends

So I’m four days into this thing, the weekend wasn’t as hard as I was expecting. Although it wasn’t that hard I have some mates who know what I’m doing and know exactly why I am doing it but still continue to give me a hard time. They are giving me a hard time and telling me how ‘weak’ I am and how it’s my fault the mood of the room was being ruined. MASSIVE STRUGGLE for me, I am always the guys who proves himself when called ‘weak’ and was always the one who tried to lift the mood of a room if a few people who were bringing it down. Luckily it was him bringing the mood down because all he was doing was being negative and the people around us didn’t like how he was being a wanker when they saw someone they knew trying to do [...]
