I've been drinking during lockdown. Not to major excess. The family ghost of alcoholism has been well and truly exorcised. But a cheeky beer most evenings has sated me and taken the edge off, with the number sometimes going up to three on weekends. Crazy guy, eh!
But I've just had two consecutive days without booze for the first time in a few months, and I woke with no fuzziness and a sharp mind at 6am. So I got up and did things straight off the bat. No need to get into the garden and hit the punchbag fo 45 minutes to wake up and normalise.
This feeling is like the first time I smoked dope. It was so new and wonderful and liberating. After 11 months in lockdown of one sort or another, these feelings of clarity and sobriety feel very similar to that. It's a sensation revelation.
Sober is the new drunk.
