January 11th. Ach, well only 3 and a bit months of totally avoiding this site and the SFAY mission.
Well, probably needless to say: I failed SFAY - PART 2. Massively!
I went to Brighton, mid-January and I planned to let myself drink a little, as I wanted to let my hair down.
The plan was to begin Sober For A Year - Part 2, when I got back from Brighton. But that never really materialised. Instead I just decided I'd moderate myself more, while I spent my time dedicated to the Song A Day For A Year project, which is still trucking along nicely. - I have 108 songs so far!
Have a listen PLUG!!! http://sadfay.bandcamp.com
All completely original. Most of them quite different from each other, in terms of style and music "genre" (or idiom). I've been enjoying this project, intensely. I've been collaborating with some very cool musicians with it too. Some of these songs are the best music I've ever made and that surprises me, because I never thought I could create such satisfying pieces of music in one day.
So I have been "SORT OF" reserved in my drinking in the last few months, but recently drinking has happened: Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon
Hmmm...
Am I slipping into a dodgy routine again?
Do I care?
I start a new job in May, so perhaps I'm trying to enjoy myself now, knowing this is going to be the only chance, as I won't be able to book holidays over the summer when this job begins.
I don't know what to think. Maybe I'm getting into a bad routine with drink again. Maybe it's not that big a deal. Maybe I do drink quite a bit, but maybe I've been able to balance that, reasonably well.
Or maybe, I'm writing all this because I am quite concerned with how much I've let myself go recently. It's a tough call. Or is it an easy call and I'm in denial?
Hmmm
Maybe it requires, a sensible, mature head and this is where MODERATION is supposed to kick in: OK, too much recently, get away from it for a couple of weeks, or just drink much, much, less if I am going out.
