Modest date

It is written on September, 5th, 2007
Yesterday 2 months of my absolutely sober life were executed exactly. Can for someone it is not so big term, but for me it is significant, because the first forecast of one of my friends has not come true any more – start in серьез to perceive my decision. Soon precisely will understand, that sobriety – my definitive choice for the remained life. I will mark today: aerohockey, bowling and billiards …

Results for 2 months:

- Health – is more
- Laziness – what is it?

Sobriety - exotic?

It is written on August, 25th, 2007
I here have noticed one thing - girls the sobriety already as intrigues something unusual, something rare and exotic. It to become in own way interestingly, and how it, why and in general what for? Are surprised, smile, ask, wink … and not against closer acquaintance.

At me never was problems with pleasant acquaintances. As of me have made once definition: «always soul of the company though also the drunkard» (the last can be deleted now safely, the rest anywhere like has not got to), and familiar girls always called my green eyes.

Why I like "Small town"

It is written on August, 22nd, 2007
I very much respect the program "Small town" though many my acquaintances and friends not especially like Jury Stoyanov's this program (constant female roles, brilliant execution of my favourite character – Модеста) and Ильи Оленникова (is excellent plays even moustached women). I did not pass any release earlier, and we together with the father looked each release of "Small town", KVN and Michael Zadornov.

I quite often noticed, that some jokes in "Small town" force not to laugh any more, and to reflect on the life and correctness of the acts. I always liked programs which set thinking (now such a little – more and more senseless "House" and other reality shows, which our fellow citizens eat with the big appetite, unfortunately).

Yesterday I had a next cheerful evening («anybody and did not expect» © the Prima donna). The world Day of the Lefthander, and I just from this category - write from the first class the left hand (many tried отучивать to write from left to right, and me it was not necessary – I have simply turned a writing-book head over heels and began to write the left hand headfirst). As in a joke: «Here such amusing I a small animal».

And so yesterday there was a next cheerful working day, then cheerful evening which I at last have decided to end a campaign in one of night clubs of my city (more month did not risk and tried not to provoke itself). As it has appeared, knowingly. What was such good, useful and remarkable? Here to you the small list of pluses of sober rest obvious to me in club:

Birthday in a sober way - 3

It is written on August, 10th, 2007
It is written to working hours. I sit on work, calls are not present, all displays in the evening. Good possibility to address to a favourite blog and to write one more sober post about the already quite long (more than month, anybody and did not expect) to a sober life. For someone from my friends it is simply surprising, and I already really begin балдеть from the Sober life!

Yesterday again there was a holiday! The next Birthday: anniversary of one employee of our cheerful agency. Anniversary of 30 years! Such date simply should celebrate. As they say: «Birthday – a childhood holiday, and anywhere from it not to get to!» And I though also Sober, but holidays like and to refuse them I do not gather (so much friends and acquaintances, that practically on the next celebration) every week turns out. Celebrations in a sober way – my guerrilla war with drunkenness, where a good example – my main weapon.

Kind night all! Has just arrived from the next Birthday. The second under the account, but not last as I already spoke in the previous post:

Friends already seriously concern my intention not to drink, and some do not doubt any more that I can not drink still very much and very long (in an ideal – always)...»

Arithmetics of a sober life. The prices have fallen, and the salary grows?

The next sober working day has ended with good and light event – the complete transaction which has brought to the owner of my purse hardly more than thousand eternally green American roubles.

All is especially good if to consider that I now I conduct a sober and healthy way of life. I will explain in figures why the same commission from sale much better and is more now. That was more evident, I will simply describe, where money before creation of the Sober Blog would leave:

Day the first: Beer with friends after work, then the Bar or the Night club (one or the several). A result: a minus of 3-4 thousand rbl. the Sum is not invented and являесть by an axiom for my last loose life.

It is necessary to refuse the first wine-glass only

It is written on July, 18th, 2007
Many people understand, that too many lose thanks to such bad habit, as drunkenness. They understand what to drink it in no event it is impossible, because they do not know a measure and anything with it cannot do.

The only thing that prevents to stop to drink to these people – usual misunderstanding of the essence of refusal of alcohol, the elementary logic.

But after all all is valid so simply! It is necessary to refuse the first wine-glass only! … a drink, banks, a glass, a glass, a mug (there is no difference, the essence from it does not vary). Simply reflect on the following:

1. You never will get drunk, if will refuse the first wine-glass. All can be stopped at the initial stage, simply having refused from the first wine-glass.

So, on a question: «Why you do not drink? What would you advise to people who like to drink?» Following answers are received:
