I didn’t realise it at the time, but I always had a front when I was drinking. It wasn't until I stopped that the front fell away and I realised how awkward I could feel without wine. It’s funny, but because I didn't drink at all in the day I didn't associate the two things, and yet if I’m honest, I drank so much at night, that in the mornings I was always probably just riding the wave of the night before.

I love being asked to contribute to other people's messages as we get the word out about sobriety, recovery and living alcohol free. It's so important to break down the stigma and show people that we are okay, and that this life is great. Addiction can happen to anyone, let's change that xx

Things have changed so much for me in the five years I’ve been sober. Not only in the way I look, (top right of the magazine article is back when I was drinking heavily), but mostly in the way I feel about myself. I’m more grateful for the little things now. Not just the things I have, but the things I can do. My body isn’t as skinny as it was when I was drinking, but it’s been through a lot any still keeps going, it’s healthy and let’s me have daily adventures.

I needed this, this morning. Nothing like it to clear your mind.

Even this far into my sobriety I still enjoy a good bit of quit lit, at the moment I’m enjoying this wonderful book at the moment, We Are The Luckiest by @laura_mckowen - so honest, so open and so what we all need. Honesty breaks down the stigma and helps us ask for help when we need it, rather than burying our heads in the sand or in a bottle of wine. It helps save lives.

For a long time I felt like I had to explain the reasons behind my sobriety, maybe to excuse it? The thing is I don’t, none of us do. I made my choice for me, no one else. It’s not like I can’t drink, because I can. I just choose not to, and my mind and my body are grateful for that. I’m happier, calmer and freer than I ever was when I was drinking. So be proud of your choice, because it’s an amazing thing to go against the grain and be a little bit different from what society expects.

I saw this, this morning and it is so true. Thanks @paul_sober_harris - we need to break down the stigma. We need to talk about not drinking. Sober is a choice, and it makes us stronger, not boring!

Sunday night… I had to pick my son up from work at 7pm. When I was drinking this would have stressed me out to say the least. Especially on a Sunday!! He works near the beach, half an hour from our house, so instead of complaining, I looked for the positive in the situation, and threw our swimming things in the car. We had the beach to ourselves and it was raining, but the minute I was in the water, all the stress and tension of the say just slipped away, just like it always does. Cold water swimming is literally a cure all. So here’s a photo of my feet to prove I was there! As the water is colder too there are no jellies to contend with either so double win!!

So me and my lovely daughter finally got round to getting these done. My elephant signifies strength and is a reminder for me, one that I will never forget as I’m celebrating 5 years sober next week. I super love him!!
