Thank you, over and out...

Today is my first soberversary - the first of many more to come.  Happy soberversary to me!  To mark this very special day I've made a little video to say thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past year.  There have been so many of you who have made a difference to this, at times difficult, transition from a drinker to a non-drinker.  Some of you have left kind messages on my blog; some have written supportive posts on my social media feeds; others have taken the time to write heart-felt emails; some have spurred me on with encouraging comments said to my face.  Most importantly, the biggest difference you made was in accepting me as a non-drinker in this drinking world and I know this didn't feel comfortable for some of you at the start. I know without a shadow of doubt that if any or you had done this before me, I would have felt very uneasy about it!  I hope you can see now that as a drinker or a non-drinker, I am still the same person but just a far happier, more positive, less moody and more confident one without alcohol in my life.  Thank you everyone and enjoy my video - I felt a bit choked up at the end, which is why it ended a little abruptly!





So that's one year of no drinking done and I am so excited for what lies ahead... here's to a sober 2019!
