Soma's Alcohol Dilemma

Soma had not drank for 42 days

Six weeks.

That's great! They said.

Great.

Was it?

Truth be told Soma felt miserable. 

Miserable as hell

His one pleasure in life was gone. 

You must feel amazing?!

Detoxified?

I do feel different, replied Soma. 

I feel 3% better. 

And I don't get hangovers. 

My eyes are whiter. 

Friday nights will not be the same again.

Where's my reward for 5 days at the coalface now?

Asked Soma driving past full beer gardens.

People basking.

People laughing. 

Maybe what they tell you isn't true.
