5. Is it even worth the fuckin hassle in this country?
1. I was blacking out or being in mouldy uncontrollable state too often.
2. 2 weeks
3. Only lasted two weeks so didn't really have much motivation.
4. Yep, definitely. I'm a rich man when sober, a poor man drunk.
5. Sometimes, but most people are boring on the sauce when you're not on it so it can be hard. If you're into dancing or cinema or getting really into live music maybe it is easier.
For a while I was doing a thing where I didn't give up drinking but if say I left it 6 days before I had another drink I'd try to last 7 days or more before I had another one and then longer again in the hope that I would get to a situation where I drank once a month. I drink less overall than I used when I was undergrad in college or just after leaving secondary school but my intake is still astronomical by most people's standards.
