Caveat abstainor

So, apart from a couple of quite deliberate leaps from the wagon, I've been off drink since late September. It's so-so: long-term abstinence might be right for some, but I don't think it's for me.

Chief benefits: improved bank balance, minor weight loss.
Chief drawbacks: sporadic insomnia, significant memory loss.

Yep, memory loss. I was recently looking back at my appointments diary for the last few months of 2007, and I realised that I can remember very little of what happened then. It seems kind of like a weird, absent dream.

Anneli thinks this might be because we didn't actually do very much over that period, apart from a trip to Skye which I remember fairly well. But on the whole it's a bit like someone else has been living my life for the past 4 months.

Curious. I guess this is what drifting involves. Still, roll on May 1st...
