Sobriety Day 8

Published on 24 August 2026 at 15:49

It's good to have a pal who's a mechanic. This is my third time to use Dublin Bus today. A great service, but I'll be happy to have my old Honda back.

I am 8 days into this spell of sobriety. I am trying to quit without thinking about alcohol much. The target is 100 days and that's because I'm hoping to get back to Málaga pretty soon after that. I can't imagine spending time in my spiritual home and not imbibing. I like the idea of being able to go on holiday without alcohol. I just don't think I'd be able to do it. 

Earlier this year while attempting to stay sober for a year i knew from the start that I'd be drinking at a wedding. A wedding is no place for a man who likes a few swallies!

I'm passing some time in Tymon park. It's a beautiful day, but there's plenty of rain forecast. I've been walking a lot. 

There are 2 main reasons for knocking alcohol on the head. I've been feeling down for a couple of months. Some bad things have happened. Drink was helping until it wasn't. The other reason is money, pure and simple. 

I am at the starting point. 8 days. Sure that's nothing apart from a start.
