If there is one thing this covid-19 pandemic has done its made me drink a lot of BEER, Covid-19 has turned my little hobby of tasting local beers once a week into a nearly nightly drinking session. What with wine as well i feel like my mental health is going down the pan like my liver.
Tonight as I write this its my first night with out a drink for a while, but this morning I woke up in a happy place, I felt good, I wanted to not drink and I wanted to start a fresh, I said to “G” at early doors when I was going to work how I felt and we were gong to have a brake from the grog!. Well I got a grunt of cheers for waking me up but she got the message.
The problem with alcohol its like your best friend, always happy to help you when you feel down or there when you need a hit, but when the hit is every day then you realise you have a problem. Like anything addictive you suddenly think you need it because in your mind you do but really you don’t so my hobby about tasting beer and wine has turned into an obsession with booze.
Covid hasn’t helped, the first lockdown being stuck at home schooling the children I spent the evenings drinking to forget the pain but I did try some amazing drinks (instagram.com/beerawastedad) I still remember going into the local store and having to walk to another shop as I had tried all the booze then leaving the second shop because I had rinsed that shop too!.
I had forgotten the purpose of my blog and as it easy focused my blog posts on Instagram because a quick picture and a load of #’s later I could reach out to the booze world.
This is about me taking back control and I’m not going to stop having a drink but more drinking for the fun of tasting not to get hammered!
We all need to stop sometimes, breath and do a bit of soul searching as Covid has been tough, tough on you, tough on family’s, friends the oldies and everyone, lets hope in the coming weeks life can get back to normal and I can have a nice glass of something to taste and review.
Anyway where’s my beer?
