18 months sober.
I’m consistently working out, for the first time in…like ten years.
I feel amazing.
I’m not sweating alcohol.
I control my body, my body doesn’t control me!

Dear Alcohol - Good Bye
Dear Alcohol – Good Bye
Dear alcohol. I was introduced to you through teenage romanticism; my friend died and I jumped straight into your chasm. You were there when family was not; you comforted me, as I melted into an afterthought. You gave me the means when I needed to escape; while I was just a child, one that someone would rape. You carried me whilst I was alone after my daughter was born; you became a shoulder…

3 Months Sober and Unstuck!
3 Months Sober and Unstuck!
I honestly don’t think I would have stopped drinking had the pandemic not forced me to be alone with myself. These past 4 months since the onset of covid have changed everything. I’ve never spent so much time alone, and to spend a majority of that time in a sober mind, facing my thoughts and emotions has been hard work, and possibly the first time I’ve really spent time with myself since I was a…

I am so mad that alcohol gets its hooks into people and won’t let go, and that turning your back on it and walking in a different direction seems so hard. I am mad that people get free and then go back to drinking. I am…

5 Years Sober a Journey to Serenity
5 Years Sober a Journey to Serenity
I stopped drinking on 1st May, 2015. It’s been five years since I put down the wine and cider bottles for good. Not just thinking it, not just sober curious, but doing it! Truth is, ladies and gentlemen, when I’d been on my inner journey of change – something which often happens to us in our middle years – I’d written a list of the ten things I loved doing. They were all free, except for one:…

Sober Inspiration From a Hard Partying Maniac
Sober Inspiration From a Hard Partying Maniac
Sober? High on LIFE? Me? How did this happen?
When I was a kid, I romanticized rock and roll, (still do actually). I had heroes that I idolized and I either wanted to meet them, or I wanted to be them. These guys were hard partying maniacs and I loved them.
As I grew older, I adopted their habits. I was always in control but I felt their spirit and energy when I was doing coke in the 80’s,…
