A brief account of the week.

The pub is still the pub. I had worried about that more than anything.

Looked honestly at my drinking for the first time in about fifteen years. That was not a comfortable evening.

It simply stopped appealing. I miss the ritual more than the drink, which tells me something.

Two drinks landed like five. I stopped after one and have done ever since, not from virtue, just from arithmetic.

À la prochaine.

Have you got someone to go with you? If not, several of us will be on the call on Sunday.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

The bit about the two hours before is exactly it. I have never seen anyone put it that way.
