Follow up to being a drunk for 20 years
I haven’t remained abstinent but I’ve cut my drinking down to once per week. I have in the interim placed that day at the end of my busy time which is tonight as a matter of fact. I plan on eliminating drinking altogether because it is a big ware and tear on my health. It disturbs my sleep cycle and my body’s ability to regenerate itself. I am on track for running 45 miles this week with an elevation gain of 6000ft. As I write this I’m at nearly 26 miles over 3000ft. I have three more days to reach my goal. On top of it I’ve been doing 90minute to two hour sessions of metabolic conditioning based on CrossFit crap. On top of that I’ve been studying electrical engineering and 3D printing via a local community college. Lastly I’ve been dating which is probably something I should not be doing. But it’s going well so far.
I’m going through the motions and have obtained a state of being where I can sort of pull off the whole I’m not a complete wreck facade and I can live with myself . But deep down I know I’m still a complete wreck. But at least I’m a little closer to overcoming it.
I’m nearly 39
