Writer's Block: 2008 Accomplishment
My biggest accomplishment for 2008 so far has been cutting down my drinking habits to an almost non-existent level (i.e. 2 or 3 glasses of wine one night a week). Since doing this I feel healthier, and more in control of my life and have even started riding a bike again for the first time in 15 years. I no longer feel like I am drifting through life and have started planning my future with both short and long term goals that will improve my health mentally and physically. The only down side is that it makes it really difficult to spend time with my friends, not because they drink a lot necessarilly, but more because my habits when around them lead me to drink. Still I have a plan for that. If I can meet my friends outside of their homes where we engage in some form of entertatinment or activity where I have something else to do it theoretically should curtail the drinking somewhat. Now it is just a matter of convincing them to go out and meet up.
