i'll see if i can be arsed to keep this updated

story so far:
February 2nd I went out to a reggae party thing with quite a lot of bands i wanted to see, but because i drank so much and took so much mdma i missed everything

after that i decided i wasn't drinking during the week, and it is working to some extent in that i don't have this constant desire to get more drunk, and it also helps me dealing with the 'one won't hurt' feeling

so anyways, just finished week 4. i did get drunk on tuesday cos it was the first time for ages me and my brother got the chance to get drunk together

and i had 3 cans last night (socially)

so yeah, all encouragement etc,bring it on

Very impressive willpower skillz there ninj.

It's taken me about 6 months to break the habit of drinking every night, but feel much better for it. Plus the doctor told me the other day that my liver is producing enzymes caused by alcohol damage. Not to a worrying extent, but a reminder of your own mortality is always a good motivator I reckon.

Good luck on your journey on the weekday wagon.

This beer tastes fucking lush though.

I always prescribe a 5 year stint in the Jesuits on those occasions tbh

Never had so much free booze in my life. I'd never drunk champagne before I took a vow of poverty.

I think it was a sinister plot to get you so pissed you were incapable of shagging. Unsuccessfully in my case.

good on ya.

I'm gonna try not drinking during the week once i start work on monday.

China was fucking awful. Some days I used to drink as soon as I woke up, whether I had to work or not. Beer was everywhere and stupidly cheap and no one batted an eyelid at a pisshead staggering down the street at 11am.
The last two months in China I really started to take things too far. I used to average 6 pints a day (on my own

), and when I went out with mates we had 12 hour binges. Cheap hash and pills didn't help either.

I've been a lot better since i've come back to england but its difficult because there's so much choice and so many different types of booze which i've missed/never tried over the past 3 years. On Tuesday I spent 15 minutes in the booze section of Sainsbury's just deciding which ale to buy.

I've still been drinking almost every day but i've limited it to 2 or 3, and only after dark. Hopefully i'll get back to the position i was in 4 years ago: only drinking when i go out with mates, maybe once or twice a week at the most.

teaching in the far east is a bad move if you are bad for drinking, lots of money and loneliness

i am thinking of going back ou there but it will be a challenge.....

i wasn't that lonely in china, but my gf worked long hours compared to my 80 minutes a day, and all my mates were just as bad as me.

sometimes i used to drink just to block out the daily crap i had to deal with.

getting stared at in the street by koreans used to make me feel so isolated.....

loneliness followed me wherever i go, i god's lonely man......

No more filing.

If they sack you, you could always put your CDs in alphabetical order.

i think i'm gonna put everything in my house in alphabetical order in the living room and then start a fire

You could always tip the filing cabinets onto the floor so you have to do all the filing again, thus securing your job for another couple of weeks, at least.
