The Day After The Hangover

Lately I have been wondering about this word commitment. You know the one … the hangover commitment .. when you were young it was I swear God I will never party again if you just get me through this. And as you go older it turned in to more shame…like what the F*** was that all about last night? How did I go from having fun to slurring and now the next day not moving. I seemed to have partied a lot this summer. It may have something to do with the kids out of the house and I feel like it is finally my time. So I partyed away all summer but man o man the hangovers are KILLER. My last hangover brought me a little enlightment. As I was getting THRU the day I told myself: I am done drinking, I am going to the gym, I am eating better, I am going to be a better person. Pretty tall order. I am on day four of the after the hangover promise day and I will tell you I went to the gym, I worked hard, I have not drank. So typically this good behavior warrents me a drink or five. So I am wondering about all the after the hangover commitments people have and if they have carried them thru or not. I am by no means telling you that I quit drinking just wondering if I can get it in check a bit. Can I really make a commtiment to myself to be better. I gotta tell you I have never tried a one on one commitment to really improve. I bet is the age thing doing it to me 44 and counting. Thoughts???
