Drinking Again

So after nearly six months of sobriety, I've started drinking again. These days have been incredibly tough on my mental well-being so the old habits have kicked in again. It's been so long since I've drank though that I get drunk off of just one glass of alcohol. My tolerance level is so low right now it's not even funny.

We went out to this restaurant two towns up from where I live and I ordered a beer and drank that on an empty stomach -- which we all know is not a good idea. So of course, like I expected, I felt the ceiling-swirling effects of the alcohol after I drank half of it. Of course, that's not exactly something to be proud of. I used to never get drunk like this even after a glass, even on an empty stomach, which goes to prove that my body has done such a splendid job of detoxifying these last few months that it not longer remembers how to process alcohol in my body.

But yeah... I'm not sure I can even drink like I used to anymore, but we'll see what happens.
