 Although the title may be diseving, my life without alchol or drunkeness hasnt been to bad, in fact on the most part it has been great. I have a fantastic relationship which i have been in close to six months now and am very lucky to of been in it. Everything has been running along pretty smoothly. However it reminds me of my high school days were i didnt go out on weekends becasue i didnt drink. Life seems to be a little dull, not that i am no taking time to smell the roses because i am and love every minute of it. But there isnt any crazy nights or unforgettable moments that alchol brought about. I dont think i am complaning i am just saying, a little bit of crazy adds spice to life.

A world without inhibition

Its interesting to see what alchol does to a group of people especially standing on the outside looking in. I think there is a hell of alot of negative things said about it some warranted. But it is interesting to view a world without inhibition were people dont feel imbarressed and arent ashamed of kicking back and having some fun. I think alchol is great, it is no coincidence that it is the only mind altering drug that has largely no medical benifit to be both legal and  so popular. Its kinda sad, alchol did give me alot of pleasure, say what u will about its negative consequences and the impact it has had on my life, i think used correctly it is an amazing ‘drug’ but unfortunately it is one that i have increasingly had to drink more of to feel intoxicated. I think now i can truly say [...]

Doesn’t seem to be a big problem

I don’t think not drinking is a huge problem for me. I don’t feel the need for a drink maybe its because i havent put myself in any overtly social situations were drinking to excess has been emphasised. I just seem to have other things preoccupying my mind and time. I think the real test will be drinking in moderation. I like a drink, i like the feeling of being drunk were inabition is reduced and fun begins i want that but the balancing act is something i think i will find to difficult to conquer 

Friday oh Friday

So it has been about 3 weeks since i offically stopped drinking. Its a Friday end of the week, there is no pressure even though i can hear the music, chants and occasional screams. I don’t find it hard not to drink but i do find it hard to drink in moderation. I think my next step will be joining in on the festivities and seeing how i respond to it.   

First step to not drinking is not drinking

I overcame my first step last night was a Wednesday and being that it was student night. A night that most weeks i would be begining my journey to a likely hangover. However with the reasons i decided to give up drinking still fresh in my head this obsticle wasnt hard to overcome. Although i did peak into common rooms and outside of my window to catch a glimpse of the nights festivities which included togas and tinnies. The memories of why i am doing this are recent, but i count it as my first achivement and for that i am proud.
