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 1156 (nearly 38 months) Fri am
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
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.

If only I had done this years ago....... 1995 (I'm. 30)- I tell doctor I feel depressed (probably coz I'm about to get divorced, lose my job through a breakdown and being rehomed in a mixed sex hostel) so doctor prescribes diazapam (lots of… Continue reading Two and a half years sober…. GO ME.. Day 913
Two years alcohol free
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. I am addicted to alcohol, I've tried pills, hypnotherapy, councillors nothing has worked and nothing will ever work. I am too sneaky, I hide my… Continue reading Two years alcohol free
Day 678
Yesterday I made an effort to address my chocolate and sweets consumption which seems to have spiralled rapidly out of control. The side effect of giving up alcohol (I told myself) was OK but actually it's not! Some mornings I feel just as bad as I did when I was drinking! Reading the SW app!… Continue reading Day 678
AM: Sunday – Day 640. Sober and free from the beast.
Do you know I wake up every single day feeling jolly chuffed with myself for continuing to be sober. Removing alcohol from my life hasnt made the wheels and cogs of life go round any differently.. oh no its still a case of "same old stuff different day". I still get up and go to… Continue reading AM: Sunday – Day 640. Sober and free from the beast.
