Only twelve hours to go!
 
In twelve hours time I will hit the 96 hours sober, and although i have done this many times before if you have read my other post 'My heartfelt thanks' it's because tis time was different.
I make a point of the 96 hours as from my understanding it's the average time it takes the body to detox (I understand that this varies massively for many people).

I awoke this morning after five hours sleep, which sounds not very much, I know, but after only getting 3 hours in the preceding 72 was heaven, given my pillow was soaked, but it was a deep sleep without any bad dreams.

I have mixed feelings about the day ahead, I know I won't have the urge to drink when at home but am dreading my first shoot (I am a cameraman) as the crew always want's to go drinking afterwards.
I think for the first month I will make my excuses but eventually I am going to have to face my demons and be able to go with them and order an orange juice and sparkling water.

Well early days here, and thanks for your support.

Good one!

We can handle the funny! I'm addicted to ice cream right now. In love with green tea and lemonade. And craving power walks. It gets me through the day.

Hang tough!
