a update

So I posted a year ago absolutely terrified & after was so relived that other people were the same and similar to me, so in the past year

I’ve moved into my absolute dream place (I was always the drunk living in spare bedrooms)

Got my licence back & bought my absolute dream car too

Worked closely with a addiction specialist and will carry on doing that

Stayed 100% sober

Got a dog & spend most of my free time doing walks & camping

Found out my liver is now compensated, acetes has gone & all my bloods are great all the time

Kept up with the gym and running

Had my first “oh my god you look completely different” from a old friend in the street

For the first time in my life I’m content, I’m used to my diet, I’m used to exercising, I don’t care about drinking, I’m actually shocked how much of a flex not drinking at all is & I’m genuinely excited to see what I can achieve in 2023

Thank you to everyone that commented on my post last year I can’t even explain how much that helped, I know it’s a continuous journey for me. but I just hope if anyone is reading this feeling unmotivated ect to just keep at it because the rewards & happiness from getting healthy & sober are far better then the temporary happiness drinking brings

What an inspirational post. Great that your on a fitness regime, I have different circumstances but the key for me taking back control of my health was fitness and I found running having never been a runner in my life. Have you looked up Parkrun. It's a great start to the weekend and gives a bit of purpose to the weekly exercise regime.
