After seeing the empty beer cans on my desk, I collect them by the way, I ask myself is it worth it?
What do I get from drinking beer? It gives you the confidence you never knew you had! It gives you more than you can imagine! At what cost? I don't consider myself a heavy drinker, we only meet up once a week just for a couple of beers.

We have fun, just relaxing and letting go. The thing is, it's not the beer that I enjoy. It's the people, the company I am with that makes it a whole lot more fun. I guess I got too dependant on alcohol to distract me from stuff I didn't want to accept, but since it's all good now it's time to stop. Plus, it's going to my gut.

Alcohol has brought good and bad to me, they say when you get drunk once you'll never want to drink again. That's what I have been trying to do since awhile back, and somehow it just seems good that I haven't been drunk. And I have decided to stop this pointless challenge, because in the end I have got everything to lose.

Blame my can't-care-less-about-almost-anything attitude, blame myself for having enough self-control. Sometimes, it's not good to dare to do everything. It might just kill you one fine day, but thankfully I have stopped it before happening and what do you know! One less thing that would accidentally wind up causing me to kill myself.

Now if only I can convince myself that fast food and junk food are as bad as alcohol, I would be so much well off. One step at a time, for I am betting that will take me alot longer realising the damage it does to my health. I mean I can just sit in front of the TV, watching Discovery Channel or National Geographic broadcast disturbing images of dead people or animals, while eating chicken nuggets with chili sauce not a wee bit bothered.

Like I said, one step at the time.

For now, I am pretty contented with cutting down drinking only on special occasions. Probably Christmas, new year and stuff like that. Another good reason would be that I have something less to spend on. I think I'd use the money I save to buy soft drinks instead, a whole lot cheaper and also less stress on the gut!
