The Day I Was Attacked

I’ve not written much on the blog for months now and a lot has happened since then, which I will update on in due course. It’s now less than a year until I turn 40. However, one thing that did happen is that I went back to drinking. Annoyingly I was on like day 97…

The Day I Attended a Recovery Meeting

Yesterday I joined a SMART Recovery meeting online (https://smartrecovery.org.uk/). I liked the idea of SMART as it provides behavioural tools to enable you to manage your behaviour better, rather than re-living war stories and undertaking 12 steps etc. as offered by AA. It was a bit of an eye opener. I’ve never been able to…

The Day I Went Back to Day 1

On Thursday night, I was faced with a choice after 16 days of sobriety. My other half had gone to visit family for the weekend and I was alone with nothing to do. Really, I should have mentally prepared for this. I know that, previously, I have ALWAYS indulged when I’ve been alone, even if…

Reflections on 14 days – Gratitude

I was reading today about the wine fridge that went into number 10 and I’m going to be honest, there was a line that mentioned “keeping their preferred plonk at the perfect temperature” and I instantly had a craving for a cold Sauvingon.

About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting.

This welcome is being written on the 1st February 2022.

However, I first created this blog on the 26th September 2021 – when I had 640 days to go until I turn 40.

I now have 513 days left.

Why didn’t I write anything then?

Well, quite simply because I had nothing to write. I had no plan nor vision. I wanted to change my life, I wanted to live a life full of satisfaction and not be living the day-to-day existence I currently do.

But, I didn’t actually have a clear view of what I actually wanted the future to look like or what would bring me satisfaction. So, hence, I had nothing to write.

Now, almost by accident, I have begun a process of making changes in my life.

This blog will be underpinned by my decision to quit alcohol, so I will discuss that while discussing various events that go on around work, lifestyle, fitness and wellness.

Will I be more satisfied by the time I’m 40? Who knows!? However, I look forward to taking you on my journey.
