One month now since I had a hangover so bad that I checked into a hotel because I couldn't face my flatmate in that condition. Dreadful.

This last month has not been hard, mainly because this time I have stuck closer to the boards, and worked to keep my sobriety solid each and every day - reading sobriety books, watching Youtube videos, listening to Annie Grace's brilliant Naked Mind podcasts. So things are feeling good, and that's exactly why I'm now gonna work to lock my sobriety down even more now, as I know that the further I get from the last time I drank, the less I remember the full horror of what alcohol has been to me.

I'm rambling a bit, but just now, listening to Spotify, a song came on - Something in the Air by Thunderclap Newman. It almost made me tear up, as it was a song I used to love back when I was 16-17. It took me right back to that time when I was just goofy and happy, when alcohol wasn't part of my life. What's been nice over the past week or so, is getting little glimmers of that young pre-alcohol me. It's like he's actually always been there, but was just drowned out by all that booze and drugs. The prospect of reconnecting with that earlier part of myself is one of my biggest motivations in sobriety.

Anyway, I'm now gonna order myself a DVD box set as a 1 month reward, then it's off to work ;-)

Love to all. Thanks for the stellar support.
Congrats to the wonderful milestoners!
And beaming strength to anyone having a less than brilliant time.

thanks

Sausages, fried eggs and baked beans (yes, Heinz guys, the original....from the UK) are becoming a favourite Sunday night dinner around here....Nick loves it which makes me happy. I get to keep my Aussie/Brit traditions.

OK.....that was all about me.....ha......really happy the party went well love and it is a little amusing that he has a sore head...gosh, I remember those innocent times. I think those times are going to stay good for your beautiful boys Nic.....you are a wonderful mum. ♥♥
