Just a light workout today as I wasn't in the mood to do much.
Day 1- No Alcohol
I completed day 1. It's a Saturday night here and I had a Cook Islands festival event that I was attending. Usually when I go to these events I always drink but I want to quit drinking so I nominated myself as the designated driver for the night. The night was really good and I ate a lot of food and stuck to coca cola and water. Surprisingly I didn't even feel tempted to drink and spent the night walking around mingling with a lot of people that I only see occasionally at events like this. It was a good night.
I've also been thinking of playing street ball again on Sunday evenings. 7 years ago (time is going so fast) I had a really strong core of good friends and we would all play street ball on Sunday and then go out for dinner and chill at someone's house until around 11pm as we had college/work the next day. There would always be at least 6 of us and on the courts we played there was always anywhere between 10-30 other players ready to ball. Unfortunately life, other commitments, people moving away etc. ended this but I still have a couple of friends from the group who play every Sunday. Apart from playing basketball it was just the social aspect of it as well having fun and being active without having to resort to alcohol or drugs. These days it seems like whenever friends want to catch up it's always to drink. Work, family, and even the location of where I live are also other huge reasons why my social life has been negatively effected. I guess that's just the way western society is. You get older and have a partner and a couple of close friends and than dozens of 'friends' who are more like acquaintances who you bump into and say "we should catch up soon" but than never do. Even if I do catch up with these people usually I'll quickly lose contact as we generally have different friendship circles so I just don't have the time to commit!
Just my late night thoughts. Peace.
