"a tumbler full of voddie, two fingers in a glass,
a handful of promises, a heart full of remorse..."
Well, here I am once again ~ the day after the night before, full of regret and remorse!
After another Friday night out on the town, I awoke to find the evidence of sent text messages and facebook postings (most of which I have since removed), to confirm that taking your mobile phone out with you when you're drinking can be a dangerous thing!
My apologies go out to anyone and everyone who's been a recipient of any such messages...be they friends, work colleagues, ex-girlfriends, or loved ones ~ my intentions are always honourable, and no offence has ever been meant.
My good friend in New Zealand, Angela Paul, refers to booze as 'giggle juice' ~ well, unfortunately I have nothing to laugh about after yet another hard session. I'm lucky in that I never really suffer from hangovers, but I do always have a sense of lethargy and tiredness, which I just can't shift and it stays with me for days.
Maybe I've just got to accept the fact that I can't take the pace anymore at my age? Lol.
So I am making a very public declaration via this blog and facebook posting that I'm back on the wagon and that I shall endeavour to stick to this commitment for the forseeable future...me and my mate Jack (Daniels) will no longer be drinking buddies!
I can't say cateogorically that I will never touch alcohol again, but as I have stated countless times previously, my binge drinking days are definitely behind me due to ill health, and now I have to accept that even social drinking must become a thing of the past too.
Moving forward I know that I need to keep a clear head as I've got plenty going on in my life at the moment, and I must remain fully focused and not have my judgement clouded by the demon booze!
I'll be sticking to my passion of coffee, as like I've always said if I was ever given an ultimatum between coffee and alcohol...the coffee would win every time!
My sincerest apologies once again to those who have been affected by my drink induced state over the years, and I shall strive to make these incidents very much a bad memory from the past!
Take care.
Ramblin' Steve
