the demon booze

[mistahbenn]

I like to drink. It helps me sleep. Its summer, I live in New York, on the beach. Gawd it would be boring not to! Last week I went dry and for 2 niights could not sleep a wink, mind buzzing like crazy. Even tried melatonin to help sleep but it didnt happen., Functioned ok the nest day though. Moderation is where it matters boys. If it starts to become a problem and affect the way you handle life then its time to stop. Control it and dont let it control you!

I developed an intolerance to alcohol and after 1 bottle of beer was getting the bile for 24 hrs and the shakes for days after it. I gave up drink hogmany 13 years ago and haven't had a drink since. It was hard to start off with going out with friends etc but I have to say now I never miss it. No week long hangovers, waking up fresh every morning and when your out and the weather turns crap no waiting for taxis. I also gave up caffeine 8 years ago and feel better for that too. First few months are the hardest but stick in its worth it.

I never used to go for a blow out. I used to enjoy a couple of cans of 3% dutch lager hollandia. Then Asda stopped it. So 2-3 cans of strong bow a night may be 5 at the weekend. Not had a hang over for at least 15 years but went from enjoying it to needing it. I functioned ok but you dont realise even a couple of pints a night zaps your energy levels.

 

It helped me get to sleep but it was not quality sleep I was often yawning during the day. Now it may take ten minutes to nod off but sleep like a baby and no 3am toilet visit.

 

I am planning to have the odd pint when out and have no problem with drinking especially if you have it under control but it can just creep up on you. If you struggle to have a couple of nights off you could be on the way to a problem. The quicker you sort it the easier it is.

Give it time.

I was on the vibe of drinking every night say 3-4 cans and have done it for years, I decided it needed sorting and went dry for 2 weeks, and do I feel better!!, I going to try do all of September.

I realised a couple of weeks ago that I'd gone about a month without having a drink-free day - on holiday in a Germany for a couple of weeks so enjoyed the 50p a bottle beers, plus bought some Weissbier home. I wasn't getting drunk, just a couple of 500ml bottles each night, but still shocked me a bit when I realised how long it had gone on.

 

I've now gone back to my old routine, which was "dry Sunday to Thursday" and a few beers on Friday and Saturday.

 

I do notice that after three or four days off the booze, I feel better - but at the same time, don't feel like I could knock it on the head completely.

 

Kicked the fags a few years ago though - had been an on-and-off smoker since about 14 years old, but finally worked out that even after only one or two Marlboro lights I was waking up with a nicotine hangover. Had one big night out, smoked about 25 fags, was literally laid out until about 1pm the next day whereas my non-smoker mate was up and about at sensible o'clock. That did it for me, enough.

I felt better after about 3-4 weeks then found it hard to justify more than the odd pint.

Yes, I use tap water to make my ice cubes.
