Actually, I'm tea-total. Seriously though, I had a very good friend who died because of their 'drink problem' and the temptation of all the bars, off-licences, pubs, shops and supermarkets in East Dulwich, where alcohol could be so easily purchased, was like a magnet. This was a person who was a 'social drinker' and "did not have a problem".
Hmmm...I've seen it happen too. I went to AA a couple of times back in the 80s when I was having serious problems with my drinking (eight attacks of acute pancreatitus in six years due to my excesses) and they certainly helped me out and helped me to stay off the sauce for quite a while longer than I thought I'd be able to manage but I just couldn't get with the programme and the higher power thing, then again I have a friend recently out of rehab and it's helping him and another who's been off the sauce for 22 years and it's certainly helped him too.

Bloody hell it seems hard enough to me. I just can't switch my brain off. The only thing that does that is beer.


In fact I find most things boring until I've had a drink.


Seriously though if you have any suggestions on how to zone out while you run they would be most appreciated.

    • Yawn.. as I and others suspected the noticeboard is already looking shabby, has the details of local councillors who in my experience are of very limited help with anything at all (e.g. noticeboard took several years of writing to get back in working order and now isn't being kept up to date with any useful local info about food banks or any services as promised). So nothing at all in left hand side. Pointless and a real shame as could benefit so many small businesses.. and no I don't own a small business I just believe in supporting shopping locally where possible and know they often have little to no marketing budget.
