Vulnerable – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/vulnerable

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. That’s how I’m feeling at the moment. I haven’t re – committed to another year or whatever, and I have felt a few pangs lately, when ‘enjoying’ alcohol seems to be the thing to do. It did seem to trigger an ‘it’s not fair’ train of thought though. I even thought about having a glass of wine with dinner in the evening, then decided against it. Which I was very happy about the next day! August 17, 2015. August 17, 2015. That’s always i...

Back to reality – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/back-to-reality

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. I’ve been back home for almost a week, after a wonderful few days in Paris with Mr W. It’s our first wedding anniversary on Sunday, so the trip was really to celebrate our first year. For anyone who hasn’t been, I can’t recommend it highly enough! The treats and rewards system goes completely out of the window and suddenly I’m worrying about drinking. Ffs! I mean, really! Anyway, it didn’t last long. We enjoyed our sushi and that...I&#8217...

Small changes, big difference! – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/small-changes-big-difference

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. Small changes, big difference! I not only survived, but really enjoyed a social event on Saturday. It was the carnival. Lots of drinking was done by all (except me! I did notice a few times, there were lulls in conversation, and after the fact I realise I could have said more, asked more questions. But I’m not beating myself up about it – like many things, this is still a work in progress. But progress I have done! 8211; I just had to have...

Greetings from me, the middle-aged mojo hunter! Know this: it’s easy to drift when all your energy is used to tread water and keep your head above the waves that relentlessly crash past. Sometimes it just feels like there’s no let up. Thanks if you’re still reading…I know I’m not making much sense. My new favourite colour. 8216;Te...

Jettisoning the heavy stuff…. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. May 24, 2016. Honest; free of deceit; truthful and sincere. Common honesty; a European plant with bright white or purple flowers that bloom at this time of year. Honesty’s always been a favourite plant of mine but especially in its fragile, translucent ‘gone to seed’ form:. Paper-thin and silvery, they’re so pretty, aren’t they?

Day 300 – en vacances – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/day-300-en-vacances

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. Day 300 – en vacances. Today is day 300! I am currently on the train to London, where we will be catching the eurostar to Paris this afternoon. This train was crowded when we got on, and there was an announcement about upgrading to first class. So we went for it! The first of several treats, I think, on this holiday😀.

Approaching 300 – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/05/17/approaching-300

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. I’m still here! So I had to do something – I was pretty desperate. Drink? I seriously thought about it, but I didn’t actually drink. I refuse to give up! I found a card of Fluoxetine in with all my nail varnish (? I googled ‘overcoming insecurity’ and some of the things I found were a bit rubbish to be honest, but there was one site which looked very interesting. ‘Pathway to Happiness’. I was so glad I was able to help out. I didn&#821...

One Year – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/one-year

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. I emailed Belle yesterday telling her that I’m on track for one year today….she replied and said it’s actually day 366 today. I’m so happy with my achievement! But how did I get here? There have been times when I have bemoaned the fact that sobriety doesn’t fix everything. I was probably having trouble with acceptance, and didn’t yet have the faith or something? And it’s all systems go! The builder has started work on the inside of the hou...

I need a plan of action…can you help? – waking up, being sober

https://wakingupbeingsober.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/i-need-a-plan-of-action-can-you-help

Waking up, being sober. And trying to make sense of what follows. I need a plan of action…can you help? I need some help. This is a bit of a departure from the general subject of the blog (or is it? After all, everything is everything else! When I finally managed to prise my eyelids open this morning (LOVE sober sleep! My head was fizzing with thoughts and ideas. I’m hoping that someone might be able to give me a bit of direction and clarity to help with this muddle in my brain…. June 14, 2015. June 15, ...
