Time to quit

I am taking a long overdue break from Alcohol - I have realised that I no longer have the control that I used to when I am drunk. 5 pints of Heineken and I feel like another 5 pints, whereas I used to go home. So, it looks like I will be eating out more, going to the cinema, taking walks etc. Basically anything other than drinking.

Previous experience tells me that this may not last long, but, in the words of AA, I can only take it one day at a time.

Positives for this are of course that my weight loss will be accelerated, and, as pointed out by NARDAC, I will be able to afford living in Europe. Downsides are that I am used to spending my evenings in pubs, and will be at a relatove loss for things to do. Guess I could try painting my Beasts of Chaos army.....
