Drinking is part of what I usually do daily. Going to the pub was just what you do. Now I run a dive shop that also has a bar it can get a little , shall we say, habitual. Sunsets, people returning to dive, people finishing courses, people leaving there's always a reason to drink. But....I do 2 to 3 times a year take a step back and not drink for up to a month just to give myself perspective as I love having a beer but it's a good idea to know that it's not the beer loving having me. I am currently on a step back 19 days in. it's quiet these days and the reasons for drinking right now seem to be boredom and for me thats the wrong reason to be drinking. I ike to drink and chat shit with my friends and new comers cos its fun not because we have nothing left to do. I do love my beer though

yeah this is the same "problem" that I have. For me it is totally social. I have 2 beers in my fridge that someone left here and they have been in there for months. I never drink alone and well, I don't know how i would really socialize without it. I know that the purists will say that you don't need booze to have fun but ya know? It kinda helps!
Where is your dive shop? I'm gonna dig into your profile and see if I can figure that out on my own as well.
Moalboal, Philippines. Tourism gone to shit here though no foreigners allowed in and locally based tourism aint gonna cut it. Will probably be changing things up next year
aww man, sorry to hear that. another casualty of this pandemic. Hopefully you will be able to recover from it but I am sure it doesn't seem terribly optimistic.
I am actually looking forward to a change now. I can see exactly what's going to happen here over the next 12 months so taking the opportunity to seize the moment and do something a little different' All a bit hush hush right now but 100% in March it will be in my blogs as it will be the main focus. Don't be sorry man I'm embracing the change :)
I love your positive attitude pal!
if all goes according to plan( i am sure there will be the odd curve ball) we should be embarking on a new adventure in the spring. Wouldn't have happened if we'd not been put in this situation either
