here goes then, altho im having a blip on saturday for my mates 60th. (yeah i know)
I think the thing I want to take from this is it’s not giving up booze, BUT discovering a life away from the booze.
this is it for me. a few weeks in greece (alcohol every evening) and just back from a birthday weekend away (LOTS of alcohol 3 nights on the trot) has me feeling washed out and ready for a break. especially p1ssed off with the half a stone weight put on, which is solely around my waist of course, but cant complain, do the crime do the time.
i always read about people being ‘x years sober now’ and am jealous of how they can do it and still enjoy evenings out. thats my problem, i just dont enjoy being with people who are slowly getting more and more merry if im sober, i just start getting annoyed with them, which when youre married to one of them isnt ideal :D
so….. stop going out with them? but theyre my family/mates. just put up with it? is the right answer but……. how?
i dont enjoy the taste of booze so much that i NEED it, i get bored with the taste of beer/rum/wine after a few and need to keep swapping drinks, its just the feeling of us all loosening up together after an hour or so and having a real good laugh. how do i replace that?
