Phew, what a year it has been! Tough, stressful, anxiety inducing and at times, confusing. I entered 2020 just 3 months sober and to be quite honest I am absolutely amazed (and massively proud) that I managed to survive the year without picking up the bottle. I have never experienced so much stress in my life, yet I stayed sober. I have never experienced so much anxiety in my life, yet I stayed sober. I had days where I came home from work and would have loved nothing more than to drown my sorrows and numb my mind with a bottle of wine, yet I didn’t.
I am entering 2021 476 days sober, the longest I’ve gone since I first picked up the bottle at the tender age of 14. I am doing it.
Never lose hope, never give in, never throw in the towel.
Happy 2021! xxxxxx
