Changing My Drinking Habits

I felt good because I did not drink the previous night. I attended a Dutch class. When I went out of the house, I met Janine. She told me they had bought a new Nissan car. I thought they were quite wealthy. There was a new female student from Syria. I received a new contract for the class, which means the fee will increase from €17 to €18 per hour. It was insane. I considered whether I should continue or not. After that, I visited a second hand shop and bought a large soup cup. It was €1.50. In the evening, I opened a messaging app. I received some pushy messages from a client. It was annoying, but I did not care. I went to the bar My Way. I invented a new drinking rule. It is simple. When you have a drink, you should take one minute to drink 10 ml. For example, when you have a 300 ml bottle of beer, you should spend at least 30 minutes drinking it. Anyway, I experimented with this new drinking style. It seemed to work well. Even though Anjo and Ruud offered me drinks, I concentrated on the experiment. Furthermore, Mandy offered me a cigarette. I kept my drinking rule properly. At home, I cooked onion soup and had it with bread. I also started a new rule: when you visit a bar, you cannot drink at home. Everything went well and I felt satisfied. I read a book about a person who had an alcohol addiction. It was interesting. I fell asleep around 10:30 pm.
