I have spent a whole weekend without alcohol! I appreciate that this sounds rather like someone who has just emerged from his second AA meeting, but I feel an evangelical fervour that makes me want – no NEED – to share this with you. You will probably find me joining the Temperance League shortly, or selling copies of the War Cry in a pub near you.
Actually, the experience is interesting. It makes the weekend seem considerably longer than usual. A few drinks on a Friday night inevitably compresses Saturday – even if you’re not hungover, you feel a bit sluggish. It has been quite nice to feel energetic and bouncy from 8am. And I did not waste my time – I managed to do a whole lot of work proof reading the book on Saturday morning.
If I continue to feel this good, I might go teetotal altogether. That would be good wouldn’t it? A whole lifetime without another alcoholic drink?
No! Of course it wouldn’t be good! It would be profoundly depressing
