Just realised in the last 2 days I have definitely felt calmer, I’ve noticed this in situations that before being sober I would have definitely glugged a bottle of wine.
For instance – January, busiest and most stressful month of the year for me workwise. I would get home and think “I need a drink” and have a bottle.
Just had the kitchen upside down moving appliances around and this would normally trigger “I’m really tired, this is so stressful, the kitchen is in a right old jumble, I need a drink” and have a bottle.
The 1st Feb always feels like the start of a new year and I feel excited at the possibilities ahead the excitement makes me feel “I need a drink” and have a bottle.
Do you know in all those situations in the last few days I have just sat calmly in my chair with a cup of coffee and it once did I think “I need a drink”
I’m actually over the moon about this. For me this is massive set forward. 10 months sober next week… 🎂🎂
Feeling Free Sober Me 
Ten months sober is a lifetime, isn’t it? I was just commenting on another blog that it was not until I quit drinking for several months that I realized I’m not a hyped-up crazy stressed person. The alcohol made me that way. You’ve given me a great idea for a blog post … thanks!

This is wonderful! It really is nice to get to the point where we realize how better the good things are, and how easier to cope with the bad things, now that we don’t drink!
