It is a strange thing, but once you decide to stop drinking you social life can become some what limited.
Don't get me wrong I don't feel the need to drink to have fun, but it would seem that as soon as you say 'I'm not drinking' the invites to clubs and bars seem to stop and you realise that being a student, drinking seems to be a massive part of that life.
As I am in my final semester for uni my workload is huge and my free time is limited, so drinking is now further than ever down on my list of priorities. But what ever happened to going out for a meal or to the cinema?
Why does it always have to be nights out at shitty clubs and getting wasted?
Last week I went on a night out after a month and half of no drinking, it was a good night but I don't remember any of it, not even how I got home and that is scariest part, I'm not blaming anyone I let myself get into that situation but it still scares me, I was ill for an entire week, only starting to feel like human today and once again have decided that drinking is not for me, unless it is a quiet one at the pub.
But it would seem announcing that you would rather be healthy is like saying 'I would love to stamp on your face sometime'
It seems strange that not drinking is such a taboo, and looking after yourself is such a strange thing??
So we shall see, I'm not saying I will be sober forever, but the days of all day drinking and all day hangovers and fast food are out of the window, enter research, sketchbooks, the gym and cups of tea.
