As we hit the summer months, I find myself craving alcohol more and more. I know I slipped up earlier this year. It’s truly shocking the stuff that your brain comes up with to justify having a drink. My main problem is with rum and red wine. Not together. Although if you mixed them together the taste of it would be enough to put you off for life. I know that drink is technically a drug, something that you can be addicted to but in moderation is safe. For some. Some know when to stop, others do not have that luxury. They get ugly drunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day drinking is one I’m missing. Sitting in the garden at 9am after the kids have been dropped off having rum and ice, just enjoying living. I now see why that is a monumentally bad idea, especially after doing it hourly till collection time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think if I keep reminding myself that all actions have a consequence, that it hurts others more than it hurts me, then I have a better reason to stay sober.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So. I’ll miss it. But never go back to it I don’t think. It will make BBQs, visits to friends, and functions less amusing but yeah, it’s not worth ruining my life and that of my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just needed a mini vent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
