◎「飲酒量を減らす」
お酒の量を減らすことにしました。
別に医者に何か言われたわけではありません。
私の意志で決めたことで誰にも強制されていません。
正直に言うと、お酒をたくさん飲むことに全く価値を見いだせないのです。
もちろん、完全に飲まないのは難しいのです。
つきあいもありますしね。
ただ適量を守って、ビールやウィスキーも減らすのがいいかなと。
なぜ昔はあんなにビールが飲みたかったのか不思議でたまりません。
いまは格闘技から少し距離を置いたので喉が渇いていないのでしょう。
20代半ばで失恋したときは、あまりの辛さに耐えかねて
浴びるようにお酒を飲んでいました。
それでもある日突然、自分の異常さに気づいて
その恐怖で大量飲酒をやめることができたのでした。
もしお酒を飲まなければ時間をさらに有効に使えるので
今は以前よりさらに清々しく生活できます。
