24 days on and SO content.

Just sitting here sipping a cup of hot chocolate, watching an old episode of 'Columbo' (yeah I know, I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to Columbo lol), and thinking how relaxed and content I am feeling.

Go back to Sunday a month ago, I was restless, shaky and panicking that I would be 'well enough' for Monday morning (when I wasn't racing to the bathroom)

I'm not under any illusions that it will always be this easy, but for now, today, I really have zero desire to drink and l am happily waiting two new kittens coming into rescue tomorrow. Yeah, life is SO so good without alcohol

Keep it up! Living sober brings beautiful rewards. Will you have to nurse the kittens or are they eating on their own? Crazy kittens lol!

Hi and thanks

They're eating on their own thankfully.
Have been told the woman has been feeding them on nothing but biscuits - some people are just unreal. x

Thanks Emily

My daughter bought me a tub of 'options' - it's lovely and you don't need as much. Says it's low calorie too, so an added bonus

Columbo is ace, right down to the cheesy jazz

This is one of those glimpses of contentment which you will have many more of from now on. I have these too and it is always whilst doing some really mundane everyday activity. I never ever felt that way when I was drinking.
