Hi everyone, nearly a year ago I was miserable, had just split up with my husband and I was one of those wine o'clock drinkers every night after work. I had no energy, my skin wasn't good and I felt ill and depressed.
I just wanted to post on here to give a little bit of hope and motivation to others because that's what helped me.
I can't tell you how good it feels now to not be addicted to alcohol, I changed my whole mind set and saw it for what it was, just a drug. I wake up every morning with loads of energy, I am so productive, I eat healthy, and eat loads of it and have gone back to my weight when I was a teenager. My mind is so much clearer and I just keep having all these inspirational ideas that pop into my head to solve problems etc and I love it.
In the past year I've read loads and watched loads on alcohol and I cannot believe we have been suckered into having this drug from such a young age.
The thing that helped me was to see it as a positive move but realising I still needed to do something in place of alcohol to help me. I replaced it with excersise, good food and other activities like going to the cinema or just driving out to watch the sunset, which I now love doing because when I drank I was then anchored to the house.
My relationship with my kids has improved no end and I just feel so lucky to have got this far.
I know it's hard, I know I have to remember how easy it is to go back and have put things in place to keep me on the right path, like looking at the friends I socialised with and getting into mindfullness and yoga etc to help me relax and focus.
Sorry this is so long.
Just wanted to tell everyone they can do it and well done Norac too, we started on the same day and she has been one of my inspirations from the beginning to keep going. Well done us xx
