This year I'm committing to 0 alcohol for the whole year. More than anything is a challenge to test my discipline and to form healthier friendships and do more meaningful work.
I am excited for this challenge, it is going to be difficult, not because I don't think I have what it takes. I've been months without drinking much. I havn't gone to parties in over 6 months and I don't really feel the need to escape through alcohol. It's going to be difficult because I'm going back to Ecuador in 2 weeks.
Social pressure is the same everywhere in the world. When I came to live here in England I didn't have any friends. There was no one to impose their bad habits on me. I made a couple of good friends, but most of my time has been spent with my girlfriend or in a meaningful solitude that has allowed me to start writing everyday.
In Ecuador I have all type of friends, a lot of them are so used to drinking and doing drugs every week. I am known to always reject drugs, they know they shouldn't offer me drugs, I've never done them and they respect that, the same with cigarettes, but with alcohol they know they can convince me.
I've never been as bad as most people with alcohol, but like every teenager I did drink on parties. Apart from a couple times I don't tend to lose consciousness like most people, but I must admit I haven't been as good as I wish I were. Being here in England has allowed me to avoid alcohol almost completely.
The biggest reason I want to do this, is because I don't want to go back to Ecuador to spend time with the same bad influence friendships I had. Not drinking will help me see who tries to push me towards vice and who helps me become better a better person.
I wish you join me on this challenge so that we can keep each other accountable. Cheers for a year without alcohol.
