Or what am I not drinking?
I haven't had a beer since arriving home from the UK six days ago. In fact, the last beer I had was at Hong Kong airport where I bought a pint of Asahi Draught. I had £20 pound in English money to offload. It cost me £15 for the pint and £5 for a coffee!
Having been a heavy drinker for most of my life, I have decided to try and give my internal organs somewhat of a rest. I cannot remember the last time I went a day without drinking at least 6 to 10 standard alcoholic drinks per day, and on many occasions I've drunk very large quantities over short periods of time.
I am not proud of this, and I know that I appear to brag about my consumption of alcohol. Over these last six days, I have resisted the urge to do my usual weekly trip to the bottle shop and buy my usual two slabs of whatever takes my fancy, plus a bottle of rum or whiskey.
I could be considered a somewhat functioning alcoholic, as someone once described me. Most people I know, would not think this of me as I go about my life in general.
I'm not prepared to give up drinking entirely. However, I will endeavour to curb my everyday habit/addiction? Whatever.
Wish me luck
