One beer and this is gone. One leads to two, then to sitting around wasting time, watching tv, etc. So I absolutely never drink unless I want to do nothing productive for the remainder of the evening, which happens, but not too often |
Hi Jim
You couldnt say it better. When I drank alcohol, I could maybe read a book at the one glass of wine/ one beer level, but after the next one it was TV, as it was too difficult to concentrate on anything else other than moving pictures!
Thats why I have accomplished soo much more this year than prior to ditching drink. In any evening after work I could get something done around the house or continue with a book or whatever. Prior to that if I had a few beers it inevitably lead to another beer, no exercise, no thinking, just TV and food and sleep and a sore head and tiredness the next day.
I'm just a little embarassed it took me till my late 30's to realise all of this.
Cheers
