Seven Years Sober

As of 26 November 2015 I am 7 years sober. I have started this blog as I am struggling with so many things in life at the moment and I need to make sure that I continue to stay sober.

I was in a shop about a year ago and walking past the book section I spied the book: Mrs D is Going Without. For some reason I was drawn to it and as I was reading it, I was going "that's me, that's me". So many things I used to do that were the same as the book. I am currently re-reading it, just to reinforce the reasons I don't want to start drinking again.

It would be so easy to start again, but I know if I started, one wouldn't be enough. I will not drink alcohol.

God I want a drink - but I won't! I must keep saying that. Seven years is a long time sober and I don't want to go through withdrawal symptoms again.

I am not sure why I am doing this (writing this blog) but have just deleted a whole lot of stuff that I wrote the other day.

I am scared people might read it and "judge" me- insecure I am as Yoda would say!
