10 months plus!!

Yet again it's a while since I have posted, but I have somewhat distracted with my son and getting him through his GCSE's! It has been hard work, but would have been sooooo much tougher had I still been drinking! My son is bright, but dyslexic. School and organisation has always been a struggle, but we did it and now we await the results! 

I am in a really good place at the moment, and recently went to Marrakech with two other couples for a long weekend and it was my first real sober holiday. It was great, and I didn't miss the booze. There was a couple of fleeting pangs, when they sat by the pool with a glass of rose and I longed for that first sip, and that moment that comes straight after. I quickly fast forwarded a couple of hours, and to the end of the night and that soon subsided!

The only thing I am really struggling with (despite my sugar intake?!) is that no-one is really that interested. I guess this is good, but it's such a massive thing for me that a few more pats on the back and a little bit of interest wouldn't go a miss!

I can honestly say to anyone that is thinking that they should stop drinking, that it really is worth it! I know when I was trying to stop, I found comments like this irritating and didn't really believe it. PLEASE believe me! It is SOOOO worth it.....

I recently read a post by the amazing Mrs D is going without, and the words she wrote at the end of this post are really beginning to ring true to me as I approach my first soberversary...
