lent
I know a lot of you are not religious, but i dont really care
I was having a very shitty time at the start of the week and feeling pretty crappy about myself so i decided to try something different, and since lent started last sunday i thought what the hell, im going to give up drinking for 40 days and 40 nights.
Now, i have allowed myself a little leeway and i am designating saturday as the only day I can drink, and wine as the only drink i can drink. Some people think this is a cop out on my part, but I am only being realistic. I see it like this - if i DONT give myself one day a week, i will cave on day 8 or 9 and the whole thing will be ruined. I mean really, I drink a lot, pretty much every day, so only allowing myself booze on 1 day of the week is still one hell of a sacrifice if you ask me. Unrealistic goals are never met.
I think this is a good thing for me, I need to start concentrating on getting a job and a place to live in may and im not getting anything done by getting hammered at 2 in the afternoon and being too lazy for the rest of the day to do anything productive. I hate college, im SO ready to be done.
Anyway i'll keep you posted on my progress, so far its been easy as pie but i know i'll have my moments of weakness...
