We went to the buffet at The Paris for dinner, and ick's brother treated, which was really nice, and the cinch was incredible.

My feet and my knees are killing me, I walked over ten mikes today, and although my boots are fairly comfortable for walking, they are not meant for that much walking!!



The group I was with today were all drinking, but nobody really drank much. I worried a little earlier that I might feel left out, or wish I was drinking as well, and that didn't happen. Sadly there were many reminders today about what alcohol, and I am fairly sure drugs in a few cases can do to you. I am glad that I no longer feel the need to have alcohol in my life.

I've always 'done' sobriety / detox alas an expectation from others and to keep them happy, never for myself. I now have the strength to do this and im hugely proud of what I've achieved, I'm clean, sober, working again and blessed to have the things I do. I've been seeing my children lots. Taking my eldest son to our first football match at the stadium, rugby training, Sunday dinners cooked at home, all things that passed me by because of my selfish and self destructive behaviour.

I'm incredibly lucky. More than I can put into words.

And of course I wouldn't advocate my approach to detox to anyone under any circumstances... for me, at that time, it seemed the only option. To be honest. I'd tried many things, but the fluffy medicated detox at home route didn't work for me. I needed to fully understand the implications of my actions and take control back..

I'm turning my life around little by little, day by day. If I can help inspire others, then it inspires me too.

I got this, on my own terms, for myself. Because my addiction took me away from myself, I didn't know who I was anymore. Turns out, I'm quite a nice person!

Peace and love
