Twelve weeks dry and feeling superhuman

'm going to say something now and you're not going to like it. I haven't had a drink for 12 weeks and I feel superhuman. hat may well turn out to be my “never again” moment was one sunny Sunday in April, a beautiful spring day ruined by an appalling hangover caused by a laughably small number of drinks the night before.

We used to knock that much back at what they called “prinks” before we went “out out”. A few weeks into this dry spell and strange things started to happen. Mental clarity, light mood, energy and a few extra quid at the end of the month. And that’s just the edited highlights.

This is the longest time in my adult life I've gone without a drink. And I’m starting to feel it. Coupled with a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and unbroken sleep that feels like medicine, I've turned into one of those born-again health bores I used to avoid like I owed them money.
