Life is so much better.

The difference a year makes.

14th September 2019 was awful. What should have been a beautiful day was once again ruined by my drinking. I attended a wedding at an utterly stunning venue, yet there I was getting ready with a glass of champagne in my hand. By the time the bride and groom said their vows I was already half cut. By the time we sat down for dinner I was unsteady on my feet.

I was so drunk that I had to go for a nap after dinner, I woke up later on, wandered down to the party and carried on drinking. The entire night is a blur.

It is a horrible memory for me, but it was the wake up call I needed. I decided that enough was enough and I had to stop… and I did. I have not drank since. One whole year of no alcohol and it feels wonderful.

Time really does fly when you’re enjoying it rather than drinking your life away!
