Pogsblog.com: Best Blog On The Web For Controversial Subject Matter

Those that truly know me know that I am no stranger to the consumption of alcohol.  I was introduced to this form of self-medication and sometimes source of total inebriation while in my late teens.  Ever since then me and it have been close buddies.  We’ve had a relationship driven by comfort, habit, tradition, and relief from boredom.  It’s been my wingman at the club and helped me stir up the confidence to do what was always in me to do such as dance my ass off or go right up to the hottest chick and try to get her phone number.  It has been my compadre at sporting events, movies, or even a long road trip.  But above all, it’s been my first line of defense in my battles against social anxiety.  For afterall, there is no better social lubricant than ALCOHOL.  Well, all that stops on January 1st.  At least for 31 days.  Yes, for 31 days I am going to give up drinking alcohol.  Lots of people ask me why and honestly it’s not because I think I have a problem.  One of the reasons I’m doing this is to achieve a fitness goal.  I’ll be starting a new workout plan that requires me to abstain from alcohol.  Another reason I’m doing this is to prove to myself that I can.  For, if i truly do have a problem with alcohol, giving it up will be harder than I think.  It may uncover a dependence that I didn’t know that I had.  I’ll also be starting off the New Year being able to save more money since I won’t be going out as much or spending money on alcohol.  I’ll be posting here on a more regular basis as I go through this process.  Wish me luck!!!
