I was up at 3am today. I'm blaming my wife for leaving the heating on too high. I was waiting to go to the gym at 8 and began to feel sorry for myself, worrying about going to the restaurant tonight to celebrate my son's birthday. I was in a " woe is me" mood.
Then I turned on the to and saw the Paris situation develop. Basically I felt ashamed. This terrible event really, really put my minor whines about wanting to drink into perspective.
I don't want to come across as facetious but tonight I won't drink and I won't be thinking about myself and my problems, other things will be on my mind.
