THREE YEARS ALCOHOL-FREE TODAY
Today it is my third birthday! And like on my first third birthday, 54 years ago, I am sober!
I stopped drinking booze on 8th December 2020. I knew life would be better without alcohol, but I never truly appreciated the massive positive change that happens to every aspect of your life when you take away the daily tipple.
To everyone who has followed me, subscribed to my newsletters, bought my book, been on my coaching courses, commented and liked my posts this year and for the last three years of this alcohol-free journey – thank you.
For me Year 1 is about finding the new you; Year 2 is understanding the new you; and Year 3 living life 100% as the new you. This is the new norm. Any tiny thoughts of ever drinking alcohol again are completely gone in Year 3.
Drinking me and alcohol-free me are different people, both physically and mentally. The more I analyse it the more it feels like a complete rebirth, scientifically proving the saying: “Alcohol is the one thing that you give up everything for and going alcohol-free is giving up one thing to gain everything.”
There’s a great Zen saying “In the beginner’s mind there are endless possibilities. In the expert’s there are few. Let go of everything what you think you know and open yourself to new ideas.”
I remember on DAY ONE listening to a podcast, which said something along the lines ‘If there is a pill you could take that made you calm, got rid of your anxiety, gave you eight hours sleep each night, reduced your heart rate, improved your blood pressure and would generally make you a healthier person, both mentally and physically would you take it?’. The podcast went on, ‘The pill exists. It’s called not drinking.’
I have now taken this pill every day for three years and it is truly working.
Happy Christmas everyone and thanks once again for all you support… and if you’re looking for a great Christmas present checkout my book Walking Back To Happiness: The Secret To Alcohol-Free Living & Well-Being.
