Kenton I think about that a lot. Every day is light years away from my old life.
It doesn't even have to be amazing things (a magnificent sober school reunion for example hurrah!) just every day little things.
Take Melly to her play 3 nights in a row.
Spend my evenings revising with Hannah.
Make real food from scratch every night.
Go to the gym with my 2 girls willingly haha!
Sit out in the sun with no pull of secretive sneaky drinking.
Take Hannah to prom and sit whilst other mums chug away on the Prosecco and I'm taking loads of photos.
Honestly it goes on and on and on. I pinch myself it's so wonderful.
And on the 29th June (my 11 month soberversary) we all go to London and then on 29th July (my sober birthday please god) were off to Eastbourne on holiday. Seriously.......pinch me I'm dreaming! ❤❤❤

Would I have got up early and spent an unforgettable day learning Reiki with my daughter if I hadn't stopped drinking 600 days ago? Would I be this happy? This calm? This content? Would England have won 6 - 1 today? OK...... so I can't thank my sobriety for that but this peace of mind, clarity of thought and joy to be alive - that's all down to my decision to stop drinking 600 days ago. Thank you sobriety, thank you SR, thank you everyone on this thread, thank you for being on this journey with me. Love you all. 24 more hours please xxxx
on 600 days beautiful kent!!!!!!
♥And really...can you stop being so fabulous. We are going to need another 24-hour thread for fabulous posts that we want to keep forever. And personally, I don't have time for any more threads, so just stop it.
Your joy is FAR TOO contagious. Grrrr.

Hi everyone from another beautiful sunny winters morning in Oz 
6 weeks sober, yippee, the longest I’ve been free of alcohol in more than 30 years and I’m so happy and proud of myself that I could do a little dance heehee
I’m sending a HUGE thank you to everyone here who’s helped me get this far, you’re all so wonderful and supportive, I love you all, you’ve saved my life! So many times I tried to stop drinking without success, and I came to SR in a moment of despair, drowning in alcoholic quicksand, only to be pulled up out of the quagmire by all of you beautiful souls, so thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I’m off to town for a busy day of work and I’m going to squeeze in a yoga class this afternoon. I really recommend yoga for anyone struggling (mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually) it’s working absolute wonders for me, I’m sure the sobriety is the main reason I’m feeling so good, but the yoga is definitely playing a big part too!
Have a Happy Sober Day everyone ❤️
Another 24 for me please ❤️
