First day of the rest of my life

I have recently started reading ‘The Sober Diaries’ (well I read it for a bit on Sunday) and there was a lot of it that really resonated with me and it has definitely inspired me.

I did however, manage to drink almost 2 bottles of wine last night. I had woken up feeling positive, that today might really be the day that I stopped drinking... for a little while at least!  However at the usual ‘witching hour’ My mind started convincing me that, in fact, one final furores was in order!

The husband was away over night and I could drink without fear of rebuke and comments and so I did!!

I awoke on the sofa at about 1.30am fuggy headed and took myself off to bed.

Remarkably I didn’t feel too bad this morning but with the sun shining I decided to take the positive decision that today is the day!!!

I have started this blog for a few reasons, firstly to make a commitment to my cause, secondly because I am hoping the strength and experience of others will keep me on the straight and narrow and finally to give me something to do with my now-to-be sober evenings!

Wish me luck, here I go!
