If you’re reading this and you are sober curious, just as I have been for many years, one of the questions you will being hounding into google is ‘Will going sober increase my energy?’, as I was. In a short and simple answer, yes – going sober will increase your energy.
In fact, increase probably isn’t the correct word. Going sober will absolutely project your energy into a whole realm of unimaginable enhancement. Honestly, it’s fucking crazy .I feel like all I do is talk about myself but it is my blog so fuck off 😊 Anyway, I am quite creative and typically with creatives they are the most messy, which needless to say drives my girlfriend absolutely insane. I snore quite bad after a drink, which I used to sample most nights, and I have heard recordings of myself and I do sound like someone trying to start a lawn mower on fucking fresh air. It’s horrendous and wouldn’t want to sleep next to that sound so I completely understand why she doesn’t when I’m drinking. So I tend to sleep downstairs on a sofa bed. I like it that way anyway because it gives me a few hours on my own before bed where I can read, write and watch TV – which is great for me, just not so good for my body clock! So anyway, I sleep downstairs and when I was waking up hungover 3 minutes before I have to leave for work I’d leave the living room a mess. All my clothes would be all over the place, empty glasses left until I’m home. The quilt just flung on the floor and all sorts. At the end of the day, when you’re absolutely wankered the night before and you’re up at daft o’clock to leave for work, you’re not jumping out of bed with a spring in your step ready to attack the day and whatever life throws at you are you? You’re snoozing that alarm til 8:03am. Waking up, hating life, debating whether to ring in sick. Belching the whiskey away from the night before. Shitting, showering and brushing teeth and putting shoes on quicker than any human ever and making the 9:05am bus.
Today is my 20th Day off the booze, and this morning I woke up at 7:30am, with a spring in my step. I positively jumped out of bed and started the day with a pint of cold water – I read somewhere it’s good for you. I tidied the living room from last night’s chilling-out and washed the few dishes that needing doing. I was showered, shaved and teeth-brushed by about 7:55am – and walked to work. A 30-minute walk to work and back most days has been an obvious example of my increased energy levels since putting the drink down and the weight has been falling off – more of that in the next blog post.
At work I’m a lot more alert, I manage my time better and I’m more happy in the office – my co-workers words not mine. I’m quite fortunate in my role that if I get everything done by about 3 or 4pm I can spend the remaining few hours updating the blog or sorting out my personal life. I’ve only learned this since quitting the drink as throughout the day I’d procrastinate over any task and end up staring at my emails for hours. I’m not w lot more productive and can work on updating this and you guys a few times a week. The creativity is absolutely frightening as well but I’m going off on a tangent here, typical Jack eh?
My next few posts will be more about the other positive side effects of not drinking, like the weight loss and creativity. But until then – I hope you have enjoyed!
