What do people mean when they talk about "years sober"?
It turns out, it is possible to have too much of a good thing.
I had a little too much coffee today, and as much as I hate to admit it, too much sport.
AFL is a beautiful game in many ways, but in many ways, it is a very difficult game to watch. And it kind of drives me crazy. My God, the amount of turnovers in the GWS and Carlton game today.
The amount of fumbling for the ball. Given how fit the players are, the game itself is remarkably ungraceful. And the missed opportunities leave you extremely frustrated, like a player could be standing right in front of the goalposts and serve up the worst kick you’ve ever seen in your entire life. Multiple times a game. How?
Then I thought about it and I realised that every sport is annoying and a little tiring if you let it get to you. Like some of the rules and handling errors in the NRL, or the traditions and attitudes in the MLB.
Everything in moderation. Or with consideration.
On that note, I am re-thinking my approach on alcohol. I don’t really know.
How do you feel about “years sober” as a measure?
Do people mean 100% sober, no alcohol whatsoever? Or do they mean being able to control it, rather than letting it control you?
Just generally, thinking about the word “sober”, you’re either drunk or sober. There’s a VERY fine line between the two. At the moment, I am five days sober.
It’s been about six weeks since I have binged on alcohol. I don’t know which I should focus on keeping up.
