I remain very focused and mindful of my last hangover, i try to set aside about 5 mins a day whilst brushing my teeth as my thinking about a hangover time .
This ensures i will never forget how bad that feeling is and how wonderfull the freedom of not drinking is .
How glorious it is being given all the oppertunities of one day of life . How much i can smell, feel, see, laugh, cry, share a smile with someone, hear a baby laugh the laugh of an innocent, ease someones suffering, stroke a cat behind the ears, build some compassion .. How could i waste even a moment in the fog of alcohol when there is so much to love and enjoy . That's my motivation .
Bestwishes, M
