Alcohol is something I've always used as a social lubricant. Having mental health issues surrounding being in crowds of people meant that a drink or two would loosen me up a bit and give me the confidence to be able to go and be social. However, alcohol and mental health issues do not go hand in hand.

Drinking lately has not been fun. One drink cripples me the next day. I don't enjoy the taste. I'm noticing a side of me I really don't like. I'm snappy and angry and short tempered and a lot of my friends have been on the receiving end of Drunk Jamie's nasty side, which embarrasses me beyond belief and I've destroyed so many relationships with amazing people because of it.

I don't want to drink anymore. It's gonna be hard giving it up but for my own mental health, it's gotta be done. If anyone has any hints or tips to help me out here, please let me know.

Since I stopped drinking I've really missed stuff like wine tasting. So now I've become one of those annoying coffee people comparing single origins.

It does scratch the sensory seeking itch i seem to have.

Also gotten really into sour candy and crunchy salads.

I am kind of really annoyed.

So today, it is less of a poetic vent. This is more of my pure annoyance with what is happening right now.

I am kind of really annoyed with the people who were going sober (from alcohol) with me, seeing the fact that they are now drinking again. I understand that going sober is difficult. I mean, I am living in that situation right now. But I feel betrayed. I have no clue why I feel like this, but it is really annoying that they decided to go back to drinking and are telling me all about it.

It is just really demotivating that they keep talking about drinking and all of that kind of stuff.

Made the official decision to remain dry and sober from here on out. Sure maybe once or twice a year I’ll partake in one drink but overall I just don’t see the point. It’s expensive, it’s empty calories and I always have really bad heartburn and anxiety the next day. I’m not an alcoholic so I don’t need to stop but I just want to, you know? I have fun going out regardless of whether I drink or not. I do love drinking and having a good time so I’m not sure what made me decide to do this, but it feels right.
