Well I'm on my trip in the UK...2 weeks to go until returning to NZ. I had a realisation on being here this time how I have completely outgrew drinking alcohol. It honestle servies no purpose for me whatsoever. I love the words of Erik Marcus in the Ultimate Vegan guide when he speaks in a chapter about 'crowding out' not cutting out.
It's strange to think how much I have loved drinking in the past but it's more over the last 6 months it has served no value to me at all and I have almost regretted it when I have drank. I realise how through my process of spiritual cultivation and particularly becoming vegan that I seem to have a deeper connection to life and just don't enjoy the regressive feeling that drinking alcohol seems to give.
I remember a friend talking about it in terms of Yin properties rather than Yang similar to eating meat also being Yin. For a while I tried to give up but realised I enjoyed it too much but now it more seems I have been naturally outgrowing it. Having said that on my trip back it has been difficult to implement which is why I want to blog to keep me sane and connected like my other blog and keep recording when I drink during this trip and how it feels.
