I'm starting to come out of this downer now
I have stopped looking at so much schiit on the internet which has helped. In fact time spent staring at a tablet has decreased markedly
I have given up looking at other forums apart from this one and a quick scan through PFM for interesting topics but they are mostly a rehash of the same old same old. Very rarely does something come up that justifies looking. Plus I am not a part of the Tannoy appreciation society
Started reading books again
instead of bollox on the internet. Last one was The Children of Hurin by JRR Hartley. Engrossed. Also playing more games with my kids.
Now the biggie. During the worst of Coronavirus and other troubles, my drinking stretched between Wednesday and Saturday nights. Dropped Wednesdays a long while back. Thursday was always band practice night and I would have a few then. No band practice for over a year but I carried on with the drinking at home.
Four weeks ago the wife and I knocked Thursday on the head and felt much better for it. Two weeks ago we went a step further and stopped the Friday night drinking as well
I have more or less got pissed every Fri and Sat night for the last 27 years
Stopping on a Friday has been quite a big thing psychologically but I have done it. Never felt better on a Saturday for a long time.
So I am left with Saturday night to drink until I drop, which just happens to be tonight
Ten cans of larger, lots of music on google music and a book (whilst I can still see it). My wife said she won't carry me to bed though.
