Last Day of April

Today is the last day of April ending another bad April for me.  This is the second consecutive bad April for me, I hope it will be the last, inshallah…

Fighting Temptation

Yesterday was a very trying day for me.  It was one of those days were I really wanted to drink a couple Saigon Red beers or 5-6 whiskey with cokes.  I was so tempted. Over three weeks ago I would have done it.

Without getting into details, I was betrayed yesterday though I had known about it for some time.  Yesterday was the first time I had to come to grips and face it.  I felt devastated and I really wanted to vent out.  Alcohol was one way for me to do it the last 6 years here.  I did not care I was a Muslim, I still drank…

Yet, I did not drink the Saigon Red or whiskey with coke.  I met friends last night, I could have easily gotten a bottle of beer but I did not.

I just thought it was not worth it…but I really wanted it…
