Being Liam Neeson

Liam became a bit of a hero to me recently when I discovered he quit alcohol at the ripe old age of sixty one (61).

Just like me. 

Note: There may never be another mention of Liam Neeson on this site.

DAY 5

Alcohol has been part of my life since forever. The longest I went without it in my adult life was ninety-two days. I was living in my Honda at the time, so it was easy not to imbibe. I wrote a book about a man living in a car. Roddy Doyle endorsed it. That's a different story. Today's story is about agitation. It's about my body being void of alcohol and the physical and psychological aspects that come into play because of its absence.

My sleep pattern is a mess. That's not good. One good thing is that I've started to write for the first time since a near death experience in 2019.

It's time for breakfast. I'll get back to this later.

DAY 3

Blog entries are probably going to have a random aspect. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. It seems like a good idea, at the moment. One of the things about quitting alcohol is to find things to replace the habit - so people have told me. For me, writing is one of those things. I wrote a lot in the past, but ot was a long time ago. My brain took a bit of a smack in 2019 when I picked up a virus that almost killed me. My mind seemed foggy afterwards. I didn't write again. I can only write when my mood is right, when my mind is right. I think it's a lot more right now.

There are a few reasons for my decision to stop drinking. Finances would or should improve. Health. I can't handle alcohol as well as I used too. Can't handle the mornings after the nights before.

I want to see if I can stop for a year and then take stock of my circumstances. Do I believe I can do it? I'm thinking of the Henry Ford quote: Whether you think you can or think you can't , you're right. 

Right now, I'm not sure what I think.
