Sober Mondays

Since the month of May I have chosen Mondays as my alcohol free days. 

It’s been 2 weeks and okay. 

It hasn’t always been so dry. The first couple of times I had a little bit of a glass of wine or half a beer. But I can recall having at least 2 Mondays where it was a teetotal Monday. 

What I can say is, when you don’t drink, you feel everything. Everything I tried to suppress I am immediately confronted with in my sober dull state. And it hurts but I guess in some ways it makes me more aware, more pensive, more present, somewhat creative in that it’s the sort of numbness that you need to read a book or even write a book, or at least a few paragraphs. 

I’ve also taken to walking at least 3 times a week. The weight gain is making me look older and boring and if we’re to get out of this job rut where we are typecast as "old", I need to be able to look fresh, vibrant and young along with my ideas.

I'll write more on this progress...my Sober Mondays Series...
