Good day!
So I bet you’re sitting there..in anticipation, DYING to
know how my “sober” January went. Well, first let me just say…in order to
succeed, you must first fail. In short, sober January, wasn’t very sober. I
lasted about 9 days and then peer pressure/random Thursday night shenanigans
took control of me..and then the weekend preceded those actions. What can I
say? I am a sucker for a goodtime??
I will say, that Karma is horrible bitch goddess. I put out
into the universe AKA Facebook, that I was going to sober up for 1 month and
alas I did not. SO, my first weekend back into it, JUST as we were getting
ready to get a cab, I tripped over a
friend and ended up spraining my foot..OUCH! But I am SUCH an all-star that I
went out anyways and danced on it all night. Needless to say, the next day I
did NOT feel like much of an all-star..in fact I didn’t feel much of anything;
minus the BLINDING foot pain. So for about a week after that I limped around,
swearing at myself for my drinking failure and lack of will-power (DAMN YOU good
times!!). By the time the NEXT weekend rolled around, my sprain-pain had
subsided but now I was in a whole NEW kind of pain..on the OTHER side of my
foot. The pain was so excruciating, that I layed on the couch for 2 days barely
able to move around, and the thought of drinking just irritated me, since THAT
was the reason I was in this hot mess!
By Monday morning, I had HAD it! I figured it was pain related to my
previous weekends injury, so I went to the doc’s to find out if I MAYBE broke
something..or had jaundice of the toe…
SO, turns out..I had Gout. Yea…GOUT! It was apparent at this
moment, the universe was against me and telling me this was a sign to cut out
the drinking…for now anyways. IF you don’t know much about gout (I’m a poet and
I don’t even know it..HA), it can be brought on my alcohol and/or poor
diet…BOTH of which I was going off, as partying leads to next morning grease…it
just goes hand in hand. SO, all in all my judgmental reader, the first months
resolution did not pan out as expected..at least I’ve have 2 sober weekends and
I don’t drink during the week…except that random Thursday…!!! Just trying to
think about the positive…Alas, I am off the sauce for LONG time, seriously this
time…just TRY and stop me!!!
Have a glorious weekend!!
Love, Laura xoxox
