Time to grow
Well here I am again. Back at the beginning, back at Day 1 (well actually it's now day 2 but that doesn't sound so good!). I've just read back over some of my previous blogs, and whilst they have inspired me, they also make me feel a little sad. It was over a year ago that I first recognised the toxicity of alcohol (particularly for me) and embarked on my sobriety journey. It's been, just like my weigh loss journey for the past god knows how many years, a familiar and well trodden path........ Starts off great, making good progress, seeing results. Then the novelty wears off, I think I can "get away" with being a bit more relaxed (one glass of wine won't hurt right?) and then slowly the wheels fall off. It's a familiar pattern, one I have learned to beat myself up about over the years but one that I've never been able to change. I thought it was my destiny. I thought I was one of those "all or nothing" people. So what's different now?...
