We had a lovely evening out tonight at Paul Ainsworth's Travelling Feast! Good food, good music, good times and my family even if two of our boys were working and couldn’t come. I even had my first non-alcoholic Doom Bar, which was great because I felt like I was still doing something different, but keeping in control.

So getting up at 5am to go for a swim in the sea certainly wasn’t something I would have considered a while back… but, here’s the proof I did it today! Yes it was cold, but we had the beach pretty much to ourselves and it was a great way to start the day!!

Oh, how different my life is now, compared to when I was drinking. This weekend has involved family, running, cold water swimming, and some yoga. Oh and driving with my daughter in the car she bought yesterday. Being able to drive with her while she’s still learning is great, I’m patient, and present and not running home to have a glass of wine! I hope you all had lovely weekends too?
