I am three weeks sober today and it’s not been easy. I was on a pink cloud the first week but crashed back down to reality afterwards. It’s not been an easy journey to live life without my anesthetic. In fact it’s been damn hard and there have been times when I wanted to quit . I am also suffering from insomnia and extreme mood swings . In fact I consider myself still to be a rather miserable person.

But having said that, I would rather have the life I have now than the nightmare of a life I was barely managing three weeks ago.

So yes ... I am happy and grateful to be sober 😊
