Please make sure you are sitting down.

I've decided to become one of those awkward people at the pub who say 'I'll just have a coke' when everyone else is sinking jugs of Pale.

Yeah, I've decided to formally, totally and irreversibly stop drinking.

It's a mixture of things that's led me to this, but that's the way it is.

Iran is already teaching me things not related to work. One thing I've found is that life continues without booze.

So there you go.
