Coming to the end of dry January
So im very pleased to tell you im on day 28 today and coming to the end of my dry January. Of course, i also realise that over the next few days I need to give serious thought to my future.
My AV says im cured and proved I havent got a problem, but I know otherwise. I always remember when i gave up for nearly six months a couple of years ago someone in the pub i knew well, and who is a huge drinker said to me -" see youve done it and proved there is no way you have a drink problem- " Of course the landlord of the pub who had lost about 3 to 4 thousand pounds in income from me agreed that there is no way I have any knd of problem. I said to them both " well maybe its because I have a drink problem that I have had to stop for all these months to which they both looked completely perplexed?
The thought of drinking 1 or 2 nights a week appeals to me however i have no doubt in my mind that history will repeat itself falling down that slippery slope and anyway ive started doing yoga agin 3 times a week which I love and my blood pressure is back to normal. Ive cut back on my anti-depressants for the first time in many years. Yes im suffering a little in other ways but Life is certainly better in many ways. ,Maybe a continuation of my current sobriety is called for.
