A New Happy Hour

When you get sober, you don’t just give up alcohol, you give up your identity and this can be messy, confusing and very scary.

But equally, it can also be wonderful.

Without alcohol, I had to learn how to socialise, how to have a conversation, how to have fun. How to self-serve and how to sit with my feelings.

I learnt that feelings and thoughts do pass. That if I just pause, take a breath and acknowledge what I’m feeling, and where I’m feeling it, I can take the sting out of it - and find a healthier way to move through it.

Healthier than reaching for a drink, to push it down and numb it out.

I have spent hundreds of hours learning about alcohol and its impact on the brain and on the body. I’ve read books, listened to podcasts, spoken to friends and people in recovery, journaled and taken plants for medicine.

Everything and anything to understand and find ways to live life in a new and healthy way.

The last five years alcohol-free have been the happiest and most fulfilling years of my life. Aside from having my son, it is the single most important thing I have done.

My life without alcohol is a life of balance.

I still have hard days and often feel sad or overwhelmed, but I manage it now in a holistic way.
I get through it and I’m doing it as me, without the booze.

Most of time if the day really sucks, I walk my dog and go to bed - it too shall pass.
This is my magic formula.
