On December 31st 2020 I took my last drink of alcohol. The picture on the bottom right is of a 58 year old sad, lonely, and scared woman A woman who thought she did not have much longer to live. A woman who thought that she would suffer the same fate as her dear late brother who lost his battle at 52
When I stopped drinking I was frightened, I had no idea how to live life without alcohol. So I fought I fought like I'd never fought before. I searched for help and this was the first group I found I read the posts avidly I commented. I learnt. I took comfort in the knowledge that I wasn't alone And alongside Facebook groups I searched for how else I could help myself. I read books, I joined groups, I joined zooms, I journaled, I went to a bootcamp, I listened to podcasts, I hired a sober coach, I went to sober meetups, I joined Instagram, and I found the sober community in so many places I made a vow to my body that I would treat it with grace and be thankful for the life it gave me
