A digression: ‘Struggling’ a little with abstaining from drinking beers. Drank 4 days last week, not for any days straight though drank both Monday and Tuesday nights, I will admit.
I always make sure to get my shit done, like practicing my Deutsch for a few hours a day, work out/kickbox/box/muy Thai and strength and fitness w/b.w and kettlebells mostly, meditate, clean my house, walk my beloved dogs and most important fast in the mornings followed by eating mostly nutrition rich food.
Haven’t touched a beer since Saturday and have such an ambivalent relationship with drinking/boozing(around 5-7 0.5 L cans of 4.5% alc beers each time).
Though sitting here right now contemplating/playing with the thought of buying myself 4-6 cans, mostly out of boredom I guess, and to break my everyday routines up just a little. I know, it’s far from a healthy past time to indulge in and would like to eventually become a non- drinker.
I guess I’m still not there regarding getting used to being bored from time to time, so I every now and then ‘escape’ it via boozing(maybe even way too often some weeks).
Not sure what I’m trying to say or get across here, heck, maybe I’m just trying to justify my binge drinking and to have someone even tell me: “It’s okay, I do that too.” Not exactly sure of it myself.
Just had to ‘get it out there’ and who knows, maybe me writing a little about this might aid in me choosing to stay sober for today as well.
Must also admit, I now live in a very small place, like 900 people and the drinking culture here is unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before and it’s so damn hard finding people to do things with without there being alcohol involved. Believe me, I’ve tried reaching out multiple times to no avail, to several different people but all I get is empty ‘promises’.
