Then Thursday I had a meeting with a client, and actually went for a beer with them. I went back to the office afterwards but I think my bosses could see I was a bit drunk. It was quite a shoddy experience.

Then yesterday had some drinks after work, two pints seemed to really effect me. I wake up this morning, it's almost midday, my bedroom is a mess. Plates pile up, clothes strewn on the floor. I'm living in a state of filth. I will clean it up today, but it's depressing me that I let it get like this during the week.

Writing how alcohol has effected me this week just goes to show to myself that I would be better off sober.

I don't know if others can relate, but drinking even 'moderately' seems to bring on a sort of depression and inability to stay on top of things. I feel like I am in a permanent 'funk' of not being able to get things done and generally feeling depressed and in the dumps on a daily basis.

I find it strange though as perhaps someone else could also have a few drinks over the week but not feel such a massive effect ? I suppose I just have to accept that I really can't drink anymore, I have been wanting to quit for probably a few years now! And sometimes bury the reality and pretend that I am fine in moderation, but I really need to be sober 100%.
