Been a long time since I've posted. I've just recently celebrated four years alcohol free. How awesome is that! Lockdown is definitely having a negative effect on my mental health though. Been having those nervy feelings I used to get after a heavy/boozy night. Could be tiredness and anxiety all mixed up together.
Sun AM: Three years & eight months
Because Xmas comes only once a year it is much harder to form habits, much harder to believe that being sober will be OK, much harder to imagine how you will cope on not just Xmas day but right through till new year and beyond.Play the movie forward is a massive tool in my toolbox.… Continue reading Sun AM: Three years & eight months
Day 1262 = (3 yrs, 5½ mths)
Last week I decided to sort out my sugar addiction. I no longer have cravings for alcohol 🙌 but I do eat and crave way way too much sugar! Chocolate, crisps (kids sweets) not actually take them from kids but the kids variety (dolly mixtures, moaom etc) and the chocolate bar sizes were increasing as… Continue reading Day 1262 = (3 yrs, 5½ mths)
Day 1237 – am
A typical morning for me.. Everyday at 5.30am My birman boy cat stands outside my bedroom door and in his most girlie meeoww whines.. A continuous whine.. Short bursts of exactly the same noise for at least 5 minutes. Then goes quiet.. Probably because I have shouted shush! But once my eyelids droop he's off… Continue reading Day 1237 – am

One of the best things tonhave happened since being alcohol free is the joy of taking photos. This was Lyme Regis Tuesday 7th July 2020

Wow that was exciting, had a zoom chat with my soberschool coach yesterday. Had a good chat about my journey so far. As usual I would have liked to chat fluently and coherently but unfortunately the nerves get the better of me and my brain cell decides to fall asleep so I'm left with a… Continue reading Day 1156 (nearly 38 months) Fri am
Day 1154 : Wed pm
I can honestly say now that I don't have cravings. And oh boy am I glad, because cravings and lockdown would be tough. I think if you are one of the lockdown alcohol survivors then kudos to you. Your stronger than you know. I feel like now I want to broaden my horizons and get… Continue reading Day 1154 : Wed pm
Mon am : Day 1110
Day 1110The weekend seems to have flown by and annoyingly I was plagued with depression the whole weekend! Spent the weekend cleaning and wishing I had gone out for a walk but never went! What a nuisance depression is! You'd think after all these years I would have squashed it but no it rears up… Continue reading Mon am : Day 1110

Tue am : Day 991
Whilst watching another amazing sunrise on holiday I reflect on the countdown to 1000 days. How is this even possible! I'm super chuffed with myself. To be honest I never thought I'd make 10 days. In April it will be 3 years. I have absolutely no desire to drink now. When I gave up drinking… Continue reading Tue am : Day 991
