Relapse

I have been thinking about drinking again. It has been 34 months since I had a drink. I feel really weird around the people I hang out with. The people I live with a binge drinkers, they drink to get drunk while the people I volunteer with are social drinkers. They do not go wild and do anything stupid. I have been contemplating to start again, only with the social drinkers. I feel that there is a lot of pressure from my peers to drink. I know it will end badly and it would be even worse than before.

I think being sober is great. Your mind is very alert and you are aware of your surroundings. I would recommend anyone to do this. It is a great satisfaction to stop drinking because you feel so much better. I have lost lots of weight. I used to be around 160lbs now I am 135 lbs. I also eat less and bike more often.

For me, I just feel weird being around people. I used to be anti-social growing up and I had a hard time making friends. As I got older, it became harder. Most people I know that do not drink are Muslims and unfortunately for me, I am an atheist.

There are some criteria I would start drinking again:
1) Getting a full time job in statistics
2) Manchester United winning the Treble this season (Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League).
