Two years ago today I was sitting at home thinking "why can't I stop drinking" my reasons at the time were. I've been drinking for too long I can't change.

Today I turned 54 and I am 710 days alcohol free. Its amazing to think that I haven't had a drink for that long. I don't want one now. Theres absolutely nothing a glass of wine, pint of beer or double shot can do for me now that a cup of tea or fancy AF… Continue reading Day 710 : my birthday
Day 678
Yesterday I made an effort to address my chocolate and sweets consumption which seems to have spiralled rapidly out of control.

Today I am on day 524 (just over 17 months AF). I will never get used to saying or writing this. Its like having an out of body experience.
