I have made it this far, I am speechless. It is amazing how I feel physically and mentally after not drinking and the not smoking goes without saying. Some highs and lows since last blog. Last Wednesay I had a sunspot under my eye surgically removed, turns out it was melanoma, but in saying that they got it all and I don’t more surgery or chemotherapy or anything, what a relief. I have started working on my pump up training music weekly blog to download. If you are interested in listening to it I have attached the link to the bottom of this post, great for running. I am most way through finishing my tattoo three quesrter sleeve now too due to the not drinking, I am selling all of my unwanted junk and buying new training equipment and a new surfboard. I have booked another overseas holliday. to be [...]

Social Lubricant, my a#$e, Has not done anything for me

Good morning HSMers. It is Monday, the most annoying day of the week (Don’t think my thoughts on that will ever change) I went out on the weekend, if any of you know the Central Coast of NSW, then you would know one of the only places to go to see your friends is Terrigal Beer Garden. I went out at about 10:00pm, stayed till 11:30. Everyone was drinking and smoking, then smoking and drinking. That was pretty much about all I noticed, along with the “skirts” girls were wearing, if that is what you can call them. Now I have lost 3 kilo’s officially since not drinking etc and still don’t feel anywhere near where I want to be physically. The ill fitting clothing girls were wearing made me a bit grossed out. No sense of pride in these girls, at all. I was sitting there mid conversations with [...]

Happy Australia Day. Hope you had a great weekend, even possibly like myself a long weekend. I got through without a drop of alcohol or a toke of a ciggarette. Milestone! Nearly one month down (calender wise) and feeling great. Now on to the next month, February, the marketers love month. I find Valentines day to be over the top and a marketers dream. My anniversary with the lady is 13th, both of our lucky numbers. The day before.. Therefore a celabtration will be in there somewhere, now what to do, and what to do without alcohol? I want to make this an open discussion, help a hopeless romantic out.   Have a happy week.

Now on my Sunday walk to get a coffee on the beach I can wear my new sweet singlet around. Day 23! What a feat so far. To be honest, I did not know how I would get this far. On the weekend, my girlfriend and I moved house. Usually when I move house the fridge goes on first, put the beers on ice, a packet of smokes is purchased and smoked right through the day. Not this time. I surfed on Friday for between 4-5 hours, something that I have not really done since about 18 because of smoking and hangovers. So after a weekend of physical moving and surfing so much, how do I feel? Sore but great. Nearly 1 month down and two to go. DJing a party this Saturday, sober, another new experience will see how that goes. Might even record a bit of it and share [...]

If today were smokes and drinks…

It would be a full deck and pure ethanol. Everything that could cause an issue or a worry has come to surface today, by the way I am speaking of work related issues. Woke up late, it was either a shower or a coffee, went with the shower, then straight into the car to work. Weather plays a big role on my personality, raining and a bit cold, such was the mood this morning. Mind you after this little rant, I am still sticking to the cause, definately I would be lying if I didnt say that today of all days has been the most persistant on making me want to duck to the tobacconist and grab a deck and smoke them till they are gone, this is my weakness, Any issue I run, run until I come back and the issue is gone, or. Worse, I give up and [...]
