So I’ve committed to spending an entire year (who knows, maybe more) off the booze. I’ve decided to start a blog to keeps tabs on my thoughts and perhaps personal changes that take place as the year progresses. This is way out of my comfort zone so please forgive my frequent typos and clunky grammar!
I’m currently on day 72 and things are great. I plan to write in more detail about what’s happened so far in due course. Although I will say it’s not been nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be.
This is the third or 4th attempt at having a long break from alcohol but all previous attempts have ended offer two or three months usually culminating in a marathon or other running event, a couple of celebratory drinks and then settling into old habits almost straight away.
So to the question with many answers…. was I an Alcoholic?!
I drank for years pretty much everyday, usually several beers (5 or 6) and perhaps a bit of wine. I didn’t drink spirits or during the day but I definitely telly found it hard to stop once I’d had a couple!!! So, I don’t know.
I work in an industry where drinking is almost encouraged and I suspect work may suffer once people realise I’m not drinking (again, more about this later).
Anyway, that’s it for now. If any one reads this, thanks!
