I have just joined ..you are an inspiration to me and I’m to try everything that’s all around me to stay away from alcohol for good.
I don’t have a big friendship network so this is massive for me

I’ve just started following you on on Facebook and the blog. I made the decision yesterday to also give up drinking for 12 months. I’m looking forward to following your journey. Thank you 🙂
Fantastic news! It’s not easy at times but it’s sooo worth it! I’m nearly at the halfway mark and there’s no going back .. stay in touch! Xx
Great list. It really helps strenten my resolve by reading other people’s experiences. 25 days so far, but I love finding these inspiring posts. Thank you.
Today is 5 months for me sober. I accidentally came across this blog and I am very happy I did. It has been an amazing journey of strength and discovery for me. I have been drinking for 25+ years and though I never drank every day, I abused it every time I did drink. Keep sharing your story, keep inspiring, and keep the poison away. Mocktails, non-alcoholic beers, music, yoga, and meditation have saved me from throwing my life and liver into total chaos. The best part is, everyone around me has been totally supportive of my decision, and those who aren’t don’t affect me at all. Life is an individual journey. I cannot believe the baggage I have processed and let go from a horrible childhood. It just get’s better from here. LOVE LIFE!
