What’s the point?

Day 421.

This article in the UK’s Daily Mail: Nutritionist reveals what alcohol REALLY does to your stomach, brain and liver – and reveals her tricks to help your body repair after a heavy night

There’s a whole breakdown of the terrible things alcohol does to:

  • Your liver
  • Your mind
  • Your sleep
  • Your stomach

But then the nutritionist turns around to tell you the quick fixes for “repairing our bodies” from drinking!

And I ask myself. Seriously, if alcohol is doing such terrible things to us – why are we persisting in drinking this poison? Why? It makes no sense at all, does it?

As Margo Channing said in All About Eve, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night” January 1, 2018, I set down my cocktail (wine is my self-medicating choice) — this time once and for all. This means I have made it through 365 days sober! But the journey doesn't stop here... I am fastening my seatbelt for another bumpy year ahead. All *second* 365 days will be sober and full of gratitude. That's the plan - even knowing some of the bumps ahead, such as the 'Wine Witch', the 'Wall' and Wine O'Clock. Bring on Day 730!!

  1. Right?!? Just another big reminder that the pros of sobriety far outweigh the cons. Do I miss drinking? You betcha! Do I feel so much better without it (ups, downs, triggers and all)…ABSOLUTELY! #DAY265! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙌

  2. Loved the ‘Hangover’ photo. We recently visited ‘The Sky Bar’ in Thailand, where part of Hangover III was filmed. (Before I made my most recent effort to stop drinking alcohol!) You’d have to be loaded to afford a hangover like theirs; when we paid the bill,we realised that the drinks cost the equivalent of £25 GBP per drink, even for my sons mocktails! Yeah – what’s the point?
