we know, kid. we all know.

I've been drinking more and more since I broke up with my gf about six months ago and she moved out.

Living alone with my dog, I've found solace in drinking, cooking, and playing vidya.

Lately however, my intake has been increasing steadily. What used to be a twelve pack every couple of days has turned into 750ml's of liquor. I've been through about 3 handles of liquor in about a month in addition to going out and "socializing" (read: excuse to drink in public) regularly.

The worst part of the whole situation is that my drinking comes not from an "addiction" (I know everyone says that), I feel no need to keep doing it. It comes from a place of boredom and general unhappiness that has been my life recently. The whole world has kind of taken on a gray filter and it feels as if every day I'm walking in a fog.

I know the drinking only makes the depression worse and may even be a primary cause of it. I doesn't help that I've put on weight and I am now unhappy about the way I look and self-conscious about how people see me everyday. Sometimes I'll even turn down invitations because I'm concerned people will see how much I have changed, and not for the better.

My best friend is getting married in a couple months. I want to be clear-headed for his big day. I want to look and feel better not just for myself but for others I care about.

I'm putting down the bottle until I find myself in a better place. I even found myself in the ER recently because of injuries I sustained while drunk. Drinking can be fun but for me it's slowly becoming deadly.

It's time for a change.

Glad you liked it! Porter is one of those rare breeds that we haven't seen much of since the rebirth of ales in America. I for one am looking forward to the slow ebb of the IPA craze which will let some of the other styles shine. Hell even a solid Blonde ale can be a great brew depending on the occasion.

But for me, tonight, it's Jack and Diet all da vay. Pic related.
