Addiction | Mental Health | Recovery | AnxietyYesterday we took part in a heist… breaking my mum/nanna out of her hospital ward and taking her to the hospital cafe for a change of scene. Don’t worry, we took her back again! It’s the little things, but this boy makes me smile.

Addiction | Mental Health | Recovery | AnxietyI’m just going to leave this here… I’ll also let you into a secret. It’s completely true. Even on the hard days my sober life is so much better than it was with wine.
Stay strong!
You got this!
I believe in you

Addiction | Mental Health | Recovery | AnxietyTook myself for a ten minute swim yesterday. It doesn’t fix everything in the world but it makes it all feel a little bit more manageable

Addiction | Mental Health | Recovery | AnxietyWe put so much value on how someone looks, and I don’t mean appearance, I mean how they act and behave. I’d like to say I’m not judgemental, but I still make assumptions about how someone might be based on the way they are. For a long time no one would ever have imagined I had a drinking problem because I hid it so well behind my mask…
.
No one really knows whats going on for anyone else, even when we’re well meaning, we can get it wrong. We’re people after all. I assume other people don’t have faults, and imagine I’m the only one, but likewise, I forget sometimes that other people have worries too, often I’m so caught up in my own that I forget. Again, that doesn’t mean I’m bad, I’m just a person too.
.
We spend so much time being kind to other people, and thinking about them, don’t forget to be kind to yourselves too!

.
There are situations even now, that I won’t put myself in. It’s not because I’m afraid I’ll drink again, because I’m not. It’s more that I don’t want to be surrounded by people that do. At times, we’re on separate paths, and that’s okay, it’s like, I wouldn’t go to a gym just to watch people work out, so why would I go to a pub to watch people drink? I’m realising more and more that I’m okay with that.
.
Before, when I was invited to something, I wouldn’t have been so honest, I would have tried to go, and either got grumpy or stressed out because it wasn’t where I wanted to be. I’m learning it’s okay, that I don’t need to be afraid of upsetting people, because my thoughts and feelings matter too. It’s my choice not to drink, a good one that I stand by, and if I want it to stick, then I have to defend it, and not be ashamed. So that’s what I’m doing. I can’t believe I’ll have been doing it for six years next month. There was a time when six days was impossible.
.
My advice is to just do you. It will get easier. It will be challenging too, and not everyone will understand, but unless they’ve walked in your shoes, we can’t expect them to. Trust me, those that matter will stay, and in the long run the journey will be so worthwhile.
.
Take care of yourselves xTags: #honesty, #sober , #sobriety, #mentalhealth, #justamumfromcornwall, #writing, #sobriety, #blog, #addiction, #gratitude, #family , #recovery, #anxiety, #alcoholfree, #triggers, #mentalhealth , #cravings, #sobrietyblog
