On January 1, this year, I decided to stop drinking. I\u2019d woken up with a horrible hangover after a boozy New Year\u2019s Eve and had spent the whole day in bed. It was a sunny day, and a friend visiting me had spent the whole day at the beach, while I laid under the covers, feeling sorry for myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend flew out that evening. Not only had I missed out on spending quality time with her, I\u2019d missed out on a beautiful day in Sydney, which, for anyone who spent the last year living through <\/span>La Ni\u00f1a<\/span> would know, has been rare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I made the decision then and there to stop drinking. I didn\u2019t know how long I\u2019d last, but the New Year\u2019s Day experience, not to mention the fact that I still didn\u2019t feel 100% myself until around a few days later, had rattled me. I was finally ready to make a change and stick to it.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
