I'm trying to give the booze up to some extent this year. I've had spells in life where I've drank heavily and spells in life where I've hardly drank at all. The last 5-6 years I've drank a lot but not in a party sort of way it's more in a oh fuck it sort of way.

I think it's part of a long running mid life crisis. I always found life easier when I was broke. You have no options when you're broke you just get up work and pay who's got to be paid and live week to week. You've got nothing worth anything so no fear of losing anything. When you have struggled for a long period of time suddenly it's comfort that makes you most uncomfortable.

Kids growing up doesn't help either your life revolves around them and then they turn into adults and start living there own lives.

Then as man as your getting older firstly the point where you feel indestructable goes. That slowly gravitates into waking and thinking which bit of my body is gonna drop off or break today. That point where you drop something on the floor and it's suddenly an oh shit moment. It's no fun is it.Top that with a bit of overthinking and it's a lot easier to have a few drinks and switch off at the end of every day.

However I'm thinking I'm gonna have one last rattle at life I'm gonna whip my fat ass into shape I'm at least going to stop drinking in the house . I'm on a mission from here on in to land a monumental gamble. I'm also on a mission to start visiting as many courses as possible starting hopefully with Warwick next Saturday. I'm gonna work as little as possible and play as much as possible and if all else fails I can always drink myself to death next year.
