I can play pool sober!
I play pool for teams a couple of times a week. I regularly get asked how many pints it takes before I relax and play my best pool. I usually say 2 or 3, but usually end up having at least 4 before I play.
I've decided to give up drinking and have been sober 7 days. Last night was the first time I've played pool without a drink in my hand for a long time. It's strange to be able to see the balls on the table, and see everyone around the table clearly. I played really well so I know it's a delusion when people say that they can't play pool or darts without a drink. Drinkers tell so many lies.....
Looking forwards to the coming months and years of sobriety. Good luck all.
