Addiction

POST COMMENT | GO BACK

Have you noticed something unforgiving about Sundays? You stay good all Saturday night - the danger night for me as all my friends are out getting smashed. They seem to cope, and I lose the plot so I stay at home. That means an early start Sunday!Yay! I stay up until 3-4am Saturday night, bumping around the house like an insomniac just so I am calm on Sunday. I still get up around 7am because I can't sleep after 10 years of drinking every night. I thought this was supposed to stop after a few dry weeks, but it has been months and I still can't settle down. Then I remember that is why I started drinking in the first place. The doctor offered my Vallium but that sounded like swapping one fix for another. So I am doing it cold turkey (well on Chicken Noodle soup actually)! Anyway, after being so good on Saturday night I expect a trophy on Sunday mornings. Unfortunately life is not like that and Sunday is just another day. Except, there is no washing or anything to do because I finished that last night at 4am. I have the choice of feeling sorry for myself around the house all morning or taking up something productive - I decided on Yoga at 9am every Sunday. Well, don't let anyone tell you that people who go to yoga are chilled out. Scratch beneath the surface at my local pilates and yoga studio and there are a bunch of really angry girls (and a few guys) doing aggressive chanting. Man, it is intense. On certain days people have "their machine" - how am I supposed to know who's favourite reformer bed I am perched on top of. I usually leave a broken man and head off home to do some more cleaning. Maybe the kitchen pantry needs emptying out? DDxx
