Day Eight

Intake was approximately the same as on day seven, about 3/4 of a 375ml bottle of vodka and one beer. No blackout or grey-out, though. I spoke on the phone with a friend of mine for quite some time, and he said that he could hear my speech was slurred, but otherwise I seemed completely coherent and lucid.

When I'm approaching the 3/4 mark on these bottles, drinking further becomes much more difficult, when in the past, polishing off the whole thing was normal behavior, so I do see progress here. That last 1/4 seems to be the key to avoiding a blackout. This is something that I had never been aware of because of the speed with which I used to drink these small bottles. I'm drinking much more slowly and intelligently on Nal, and it is, for the first time, giving me the opportunity to feel out my limits without blowing past them into oblivion.

I feel tired this morning, but there is no hangover or headache.
