What’s with the title?
I’ve called it My New Day 1 which is a reference to having a break from alcohol, how long for,
I have no idea.
My last break last for 14 days and the longest streak I’ve gone without alcohol is for 365 days but that was back in 2013, only 10 years ago but seems like a lifetime ago.
14 days ago, I decided to stop due to a heavy hangover, these days my hangovers are different from my 20s,
I don’t really get headaches or stomach cramps, now I just feel completely exhausted and that exhaustion 14 days ago lasted for the entire day and I felt I completely wasted it, I drank well over half a bottle of Jack Daniels, a 70cl bottle.
Whenever I have a hangover I always decide to stop drinking for a while, it never lasts except for during the week and that’s mainly due to my working days are so busy that I normally only get a couple of hours to myself before bed and I do like to go to bed early so I can get up early, normally before 6am.
Last night, Saturday, I looked forward to having a drink and already decided a few hours earlier that I was going to drink, I didn’t start till gone 10pm and I finished the bottle that I drank most of 2 weeks ago, mixed with coke, I calculated 6 doubles in just a few hours and feel asleep in the chair.
I woke at 5am this morning feeling groggy with a headache, clearly didn’t drink enough water to rehydrate.I have an unopened 1 litre bottle in my cupboard and 2 bottles of beer in the fridge.
I wonder how long it will be before I reach for them, the weekdays are easy.
Friday is the test.
