Alc

Don’t want to write too much about this. But just wanted to point it out a bit.

Last sip was Jan 20th. Since then, I have definitely not missed it. And I have even gone out and managed well with Heineken 0.0. As I write this right now, I have zero desire for it. Do not miss the fucked up sleep, waking up late, etc.

I went through a period of insane stress over the last month. And my first instinct was not to drink more; but rather, cut it out completely. I needed the full faculty of my brain at all times.

People have said that I am more intense these days. I don’t think that’s because of the lack of alcohol. Rather, I think that is because of the stress.

I started to channel my stresses into running. I fucking enjoy running. Knock on wood I am able to do it regularly. I don’t think I would be able to keep a good running schedule and loose the little bit of weight I have lost easily if I was drinking a lot.

Fuck, I can’t even imagine drinking right now. The hangovers, the loss of control. Fuck all that shit.

There is so much that needs to be accomplished in this life. And this life is short. I cannot get distracted. Health, woman, family, and being in the room where it happens (at work). And then, establish myself as a member of the faith community and also politics.

But, at the end of the day, you need to focus one day at a time.
