Day Two - Taken first step towards living alcohol free
Now hangover free. Still feel like crap from a weekend of boozing and eating crap food, but the hangover is over and feeling clearer-minded. I caught myself momentarily questioning whether I need to quit alcohol for good - hang over is over now, doesn't seem so bad from this place - lots of people drink this way and have this lifestyle and they don't think they need to quit...blah blah blah.
But then I thought - I am not them. I am me and I need to quit. So I got up, did two hours of marking some of the essays I should have been doing yesterday (I am a teacher- which I find really embarrassed about admitting because I should be a rolemodel for my students...) and then I took the first real step that really tells me I am serious about this...I chucked my spirits down the sink.
All the alcohol I had in my cupboard went down the plughole.
It's over. Now I just have to stick to it.
