Nah not too bad yet actually... my pal has just text me to remind me it's his 40th birthday this week though
Nah I've already told him that I won't be drinking and we'll get some food or something instead... he should understand, being a full blown alcoholic and all.
If he got that battered at the weekend, I give it until early next week until the urge starts to surface.
Nah this weekend wasn't even really a heavy one and was over it by yesterday. Really heavy ones and the urge comes back by Weds evening / Thursday morning normally. I normally drink on Mondays though to be fair.
After Glasto last year, I had a week off but I was heading to Green Day the week after so forced myself to drink. In the last year though I’ve got myself use to not drinking in the week.
Where I do shift work I'm quite used to often drinking during the week when that's my time off. The problem is I still end up drinking the weekends when I'm working. I've recently been playing darts on a Monday which almost always involves drinking so would just drink through it even if hanging. I didn't go yesterday.
You sound like me a few years back where I was thinking about quitting booze, was about 25 / 26 / 27. I just try to drink in moderation, but it doesn’t help that most of my friends and family like to drink. So I quit caffeine instead haha.
I flit between the extremes of doing it as an artform or deciding to call in sick about 3 hours before when I'm still on it
I haven’t done that in 10 years haha. We have a zero tolerance at work which also stops me from even thinking about it.
I hadn't either until relatively recently, I always turned in no matter how hanging but that's changed recently and working for the nhs ours is zero tolerance too and I've almost got in a lot of trouble recently... yet another reason to sort my **** out
No but I'm ****ing stressed, long day at work training some **** which was a ****ing ballache, and now say on a ****ing sweatbox of a bus on my way home. N to top it all off, all my ****ing pals are texting me trying to get me to go out for a beer. Proper ****ed off lol.
