Start of day 5
So ive had an interesting day today, i slept for 12 hours and didnt wake up till 3pm, i then made a GP appointment for a weeks time- i dont want to go any earlier as last time i had the same withdrawal symptoms and the GP told me to start drinking again and taper down which led to months of more drinking far too much as I cant taper - its all or nothing with me.
I had to go to the pub to give someone some paperwork I had printed for them- I know its far too early to test myself but it was important that I ensure people know im not drinking-
I ordered a lemonade - to which the person who was going to buy me a drink for doing his paperwork said " im not f'ing buying you that but have a beer to which i replied - im fine with this thanks bud.
Another good friend who was drunk then stated that in his opinion this wasnt a good time for me to stop drinking but maybe i should drink until christmas- I told him i thought this was an excellent time to give up drinking. Luckily I wont get too hard a time as ive got to start training for a half marathon in march- at the moment i cant run 200 metres and my knees creak.
Someone else offered me a beer but again i declined. I know from my abstinence before that these reactions from others are just their fear as they are scared about their own levels of drinking and feel helpless themselves.
Anyway on the plus side I dont need to go near the pub again for a while- which will give the locals a chance to gossip about me not drinking which is a good thing as i dont have to explain myself.
The boys tend to like me being at home more- still testing lots of boundaries with me but thats life and this time round my wife is making sure she says well done to me every day.
Im off to see an organisation tomorrow who help disabled people get jobs so hopefully that will be good- im drowning in about 20k of debt at the moment so need to find work soon.
