So new year has come and go. I had a really good time, despite being the only sober person at the party. To be fair many of our guests drank sensibly, so it was not a raucous affair, unlike some of my friends parties that I have been hearing about this week, where class As were flowing and hangovers lasted for days. A small piece of me misses that self indulgence though, but altogether I am so much happier free of addiction cycles. My next target is to really learn how to enjoy a night out as much as people who have had a drink, however I fear that is not possible. Im sure it’s not a problem if the evening out is just dinner, or theatre for example. But if it is a band you love, or DJ for example and the event is lasting for more than 2 hours, that’s going to be very hard to enjoy as much as those that have had even one drink. I am beginning to notice that the excitement and kick that alcohol brings guarantees that boost to dance, laugh and be merry for hours. Anyhow, we have a gig to go to next week so I shall see if my theory is correct. Until week 48! See you then…
