30 Days, Nights, whatever...

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

So, as I write this it's February 3rd.

This means I've gone a whole month without alcohol.

This was for a few reasons;

alpha)I was as broke as fuck after Christmas/New Year. Not drinking, and thus going out drinking associated spendage (taxi's, entrance fees, food after etc.), has saved me approx £200 this month

2)

I visited the dentist in January for the first time in.. well.. 10 years.
That's 10 years I've been drinking increasingly, including my proper alcoholic stage, and my redbull years.
My teeth are fucked to say the least, but I'm going about changing that now.

and c)I just wanted to prove to myself I could do it.

I may carry on with it, I'm unsure as of now.

I quite like being in control, but wonder how much of my 'zany outgoing persona' is down to it. I mean most of my 'amusing' anacdotes and tales start with a drink/take place in pubs/bars etc...
