this line is from an Australian song called Barbados (by the Models).
Well, it's been 5 weeks without a drink. Apart from the odd craving it's going well.
Weight has plateaued, that's fine, I reckon a big cycle on the weekend will help to shift things.
I've swapped alcohol for herbal tea (and ginger beer) and I've been reading some spiritual brainfood to help me stay on track.
I've been reading some interesting blogs about people who have been going through changes (some quite amazing) and have been discarding the past and inventing a new future. There's some really inspirational people on here.
Thanks to those who have popped by and dropped a supportive line (or 2).
I've just read Nigel Marsh's "Observations of a very short man". He talks (openly) about his relationship with drinking and how he felt he never had a drinking problem because he could stop anytime he wanted to. Eventually he realised he'd been fooling himself. It's hit a nerve with me, and I wonder if I could have a healthy relationship with drinking or if I'd fall back into the same ol' trap (even if it takes years). Big decisions ahead...
ciao
