I’m currently sitting on the balcony in the sunshine, typing this on the laptop. It’s Saturday afternoon and I have no plans. No social events to challenge myself with. Just me, sunshine, coke zero and contemplation about the upcoming footy game that I will be watching. Today I feel like if anything, doing HSM has made me realise that I don’t actually have a lot of social events in my life. Or maybe that social events were only created as an excuse to drink. Or maybe it’s just a lull before (what I hope will be) the party that is summer time. Will it be a party? Who knows. All my friends have children now. That kind of limits things a bit I guess. Maybe when this is up I’ll go back to drinking at home every night, just because I’m not going anywhere else to drink. Not that I [...]

Hello, Hello Sunday Morning

It’s been too long! I’ve been getting lazy and not posting, bad me! But I am proud to say it’s been one whole month (and a couple of days) since I was last drunk. Can you believe it? I sure can’t! So what have I been up to? Working, mainly. I am in my first year of full time work after finishing at uni last year. It involves working for 6 months in two different areas. I started in the second spot a week before I started HSM, so I’ve been there just over a month and I am loving it. The place I was in before, while an incredibly handy place to start work straight out of uni, was really NOT where I wanted to work. This place is much better. Much closer to what I’m interested in, and I am working with people that I have a lot [...]

What?! You can have fun WITHOUT alcohol?!

Last night was my first real “night out without alcohol”. It was a friends birthday and it involved eating at a Spanish restaurant with jugs of sangria that I swear were whispering sweet nothings to me, and then to THE pub that I have been at both my best and my worst. I actually used to literally live up the road from this place, and it was THE spot to be every Saturday night. I actually hardly ever go there now even when I am drinking, but it kind of has some nostalgia or something to it, I guess that’s why we always go back there. You always see someone you know, and someone you didn’t want to run into, you always have a sleazy place to dance, there’s always a bad middle aged cover band playing in another section, you always walk past THAT bathroom that you would like [...]
