I’ve been away for a few days. Not on holiday, not broken my pledge, just away.
I’ve been away from my blog. Is it because I’ve had nothing to write or report for Dry January?
No it’s the opposite.
After two extremely long days at the theatre, both 12 hour shifts and more than a week, writing, editing and re-writing my assignment I realised something…reward. Alcohol, a nice cold lager, alcohol, a tall glass of sparkling Prosecco, alcohol, a shot of dark spiced rum feels, tastes like a reward. Chocolate used to, still does to a degree, but a drink feels like the way grown-ups should reward themselves for working hard.
It’s such a powerful subliminal message that is everywhere, in books, cinema, music lyrics, television, even in art…
