Guys, I am just dashing this off before work. One of the things that has kept me going and kept me sober is celebrating every little milestone, every little step towards my new sober life, even in the smallest way.
This time around I am definitely focussing on the positives about being sober, as opposed to any negative thinking about what I might be 'missing'.
Even a trip to the supermarket, where I buy what I need and find it only costs a few pounds rather than the money I was spending there when drinking and smoking puts a huge smile on my face.
Every minute, hour and day without AL is a gift to yourself and is worthy of recognition.
This morning I woke up 40 days sober and I celebrated by dancing around the living room to the Killers Mr Brightside and singing along at the top of my voice. I was celebrating, and for so long I have associated that word with alcohol that it feels really liberating to be able to do it sober.
Treat yourself to a wee AL free celebration today. Dancing to Mr Brightside might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I am sure you can come up with something

I'm not very creative in my "rewards". LOL
