sober

i think it's great when you drown your sorrows in alcohol. it serves as a wonderful distraction, to drink when you're sad.

when you're done drinking, you'd probably be too drunk to even realise why you were drinking in the first place.

but the state of drunkedness is not the only purpose. it is the process of getting drunk which i find the most helpful, because you're actually working towards a goal, and every can of beer is bringing you closer to it, and working towards this goal is what i find to be the best distraction.

besides, while you're not pouring beer down your throat or struggling to find more money for more beer, you can actually reflect on the present happenings that made you so sad, and hopefully come up with a resonable resolution before you black out and forget everything.

the only downside is that drunkedness tends to amplify your current mood, so a happy person would get happier while a sad person would get even sadder. and since you're a sad person, the sadness would sometimes grow to severely large proportions, during which it would be best to just drink up and stop thinking so much.


i haven't had a drop of alcohol since the 22nd of june.
