Detox

As seems to be usual for me these days, i have decided to start the new year with having a break from that ol' vice - alcohol. This isn't because i feel i'm not in control of how much i have to drink, but more just a combination of giving my body a rest and also to show myself that i can have just as much a good time when i go out without alcohol as i can with it. Thus, this weekend was the first time i went out clubbing where i stuck completely to non-alcoholic drinks - in the past, when i have been detoxing (or teetotal for a bet), i have always found the first couple of times out are the hardest and then it's ok. The same seemed to apply here to a degree - i definitely enjoyed myself out, but then i spent most of the night feeling very cold (it's surprising how warm alcohol can make you feel - it's either that or you just don't CARE about the cold). Anyway, the best thing came the next morning when i woke up feeling a little tired rather than very hungover and tired.

I'm not sure how long this detox will go on for - certainly for the foreseeable future, particularly as i have recently started seriously training again at the gym and want to be a bit healthier overall this year. I may just see how long i can go before getting tired of it, i may just carry on over the whole year (part of me doubts it) or i may go for only January. I guess only time will tell.
