It’s Saturday night and it’s the evening after the night before and I’m feeling rough AF.
It was all fun and games last night we had a fantastic time, the conversation was flowing, food was good and the drinks kept coming.
All in all it was a really really good night, best we’d had in a long time. However I had a little too many cheeky vodkas and when I woke up this morning I was really feeling the after effects. I had a hair appointment at 9am too which I really didn’t want to have to go to but it was too short notice to cancel. Feeling very green I had a wash, brushed my teeth, threw on the easiest comfortable clothing I could find and headed out to the local shop. I grabbed myself a smoothie, banana, lucozade and a huge bottle of water. Then headed off to the hairdressers realising I was actually half an hour early I popped to macdonnalds for a hang over breakfast.
So I sat there in the chair, body aching, feeling queasy, wondering why the hell I do this to myself and never learn. Granted last night was amazing but was it worth the way I’ve felt all day today? Could I have had just as much fun without the drink?
So while I’m now lay in bed after not touching a drop today I’m wondering could I ever give up alcohol full time? I had completed 98 days sober last year and it felt great. But why does alcohol have such a pull? Why do we feel the need to consume it to such excess? I no where near drink what I did prior to my dry spell but I still want to reduce it a lot further.
As I’ve got older alcohol effects me much differently as it did when I was younger. Before I would get a headache and feel tired however now it makes me sick, my bones ache, excessive exhaustion, shakes, sore tummy and much much more. I think it’s time to call it a day with alcohol and either drink in moderation or not at all.
