    All-nighter

    Well it turns out I am pulling an all nighter pushing to make some editing deadlines. Even though I haven't made it through my first weekend (in a very very long time) I am feeling optimistic. Have had access to AL all the time and have beaten the bastard thus far. 2 am here, so officially start of day 5 AF..

    Now for the reason for my post! When I was drinking on weekends or public holidays or whenever, there was simply NO way my work throughput would be a fraction of what I have been able to achieve with a clear head. Without that grey mist in front of my eyes. The more working I am getting through, the more I can take in. Stating the obvious I know, but I see as a huge positive.
    Hope everyone is doing well today!

    Well done Grim - that really is a huge positive!

    I know what you mean. I've always been one of those 'functional' drinkers who holds down a good job, but when I'm not drinking it feels like a fog I didn't know was there at the time has suddenly lifted. Then I realise how much clearer my thinking is and how much more work I'm producing.

      Hi Grim, I love your attitude friend.
      It sounds like you are doing great!!
      I know that being sober for me has enhanced my concentration. My memory still struggles but even that I think is improving.

        Way to go, Grim. Enjoy the clarity.

          Glass, Startingover, tulipe....thanks for the positive comments and support!
          Admittedly I only made it through to 4:30 as by then I was seeing double....this time, again for the first in a long time, from plain, blissful exhaustion as opposed to effects of copious amounts of red wine!
          Had an excellent sleep and now back in front of the computer for a bit then hope to take the hounds for a gallop on the beach. Let me tell you, getting a jack russel, a ridgeback and myself to the beach and back is one heck of a challenge but always well worth it! Oh lest I forget, half way through day 5 AF but need to start formulating a plan for kicking the smoking thing. Oh well I will leave that for another day.
          I hope everyone is having a good day/night wherever you are..
          Will check back in later. Ciaio for now.
