First day of spring has passed. Bathurst is now warming up quite comfortably. The sun is shining. The uni kids are all coming back. The girls are sporting the summer dresses. And an amazing final term is just around the corner. I can honestly say, I can’t remember the last time I have craved a drink so much. To the point where I have been contemplating drinking in my room on the sly and washing my mouth out with listerine before the next night out. AHHHH, I hoe these cravings pass soon or I may have to lock myself away from the world.

We\’ll see how they react soon enough. That is all for now, goodluck to everyone, [...]

So it begins….

Ladies and gentlemen, I heard of HSM a month ago of friends who are partaking. I thought it was a great idea, but at the same time felt it was not for me. One of my friends, who I would have previously said was the most susceptable person on the planet when it came to nights out, has gone a month without alcohol. I recently got myself in a bit of trouble, and managed to scrape through by the skin of my teeth. I don’t blame alcohol for what happened, I blame my abuse of it. So why not do 3 months sober? Well firstly (and I have tried it before), I can’t seem to stand a night out without the devil’s nectar. People hanging off you drunk, slurred conversations, and just the rubbish that comes out of intoxicated mouths is enough for me to bail after a mere 30 [...]
