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.

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.
Day 603 – relaxing in Penang
603 days alcohol free and I am currently relaxing in penang. The weather forecast says cloudy but cloudy it definately isn't! Alcohol free holidays are so much easier now. I don't seem to associate every exciting moment with alcohol anymore (it was all I knew before I gave up) I don't hang around the club… Continue reading Day 603 – relaxing in Penang
AM Thu: day 567 (81 weeks)
I can not believe that I am now writing day 567 (81 weeks). 81 weeks ago today my life changed. I stopped drinking alcohol. On that day.. Day 1..

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.

I haven't posted for ages! Still alcohol free and still loving it, although getting to this point is a bit like being on a roller coaster. Ups, downs, twists and turns. Not knowing, exhilaration!

AM : Friday – week 59 – Seminyak, Bali
And all of a sudden I am at week 59...not day 59 but week 59! I still get the butterflies in my stomach when I think about it. I feel so lucky to be free from the shackles the wine witch had over me. Those days where I would say not today and still chant… Continue reading AM : Friday – week 59 – Seminyak, Bali

AM : Day 405 – Ubud
I realised a long time ago that I am an all or nothing kind of person. I've read that quite a lot of people who are like this have tenancies to lean towards some sort of addiction. For me it was wine, once I stopped drinking it was chocolate. Now that I am holiday (too… Continue reading AM : Day 405 – Ubud
