I am trying to utilise my time better and one of the things that I am focusing on is getting back into reading withe the specific goal of a book a week.
This weeks book was ‘A year without alcohol’ A great read for anyone who has questioned their relationship with alcohol. A very thought provoking book with some pretty major reality checks throughout.
I already know that my relationship with alcohol has not been the best over the years and and the statement “One drink is too many and a thousand is never enough” really hit hard with me. I’m very much this kind of a drinker. I’d rather have none than have one and I certainly would never leave an open bottle of wine.
Alcohol is definitely a thief. It steals time, money, memories and it has at times stolen my freedom. So I am taking back my freedom and living without alcohol for the foreseeable future.
In the past I have stopped drinking periodically and have felt a weird sense of loss like I had lost a close friend. This time though I am excited and looking forward to where this next part of the journey will take me.
