Big Milestone!
So today is a HUGE milestone for me. I am 1000 days sober! THAT IS 142 FRIDAY NIGHTS ALCOHOL FREE!
Why is this a big deal some might ask. The reason is that I was stuck in a big, dark, deep rut. I could get to 7 days and at a push 10 days, but I could not get past that however many times I tried.
We are coming up to Sober October (for those of you outside the UK this is a month’s long commitment off from alcohol in aid of MacMillan Cancer Charity) I tried to do this for a few years but again I couldn’t. There is an option where you can buy a token to have a night off. I basically asked my husband to sponsor me every single weekend so I could drink. Looking back now I was asking him to enable me.
I’ve learnt a lot over the last 1000 days, way too many to list but a couple of the things that have been life changing to me are;
How to sit with uncomfortable feelings
How to accept myself
and to know that it’s all going to be OK

You do not have to go through this alone. If youโre feeling stuck or need help just reach out.
