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

Wow that was exciting, had a zoom chat with my soberschool coach yesterday. Had a good chat about my journey so far.

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
