Its been over 6 months I think since I wrote a post about myself and not about Nutrition. Two things prompted this post. 1. It’s been a year since I started my blog, for those who don’t know I actually started this blog to talk about my journey quitting alcohol. 2. I wasn’t feeling anyContinue reading “Real Life Update!”

Things I am loving and hating this year so far
I’m quite a positive person over all, the glass is half full and all that. However I cant help but be irritated by things. As its been such a strange and different start to the year I have been reflecting. As I love a list I thought I would note down what I am thinkingContinue reading “Things I am loving and hating this year so far”
I did it!
It’s been a while since I wrote about booze and my no drinking journey. If you have been following my journey you will know that after 3 months I was considering drinking again. It was always my aim to not drink for 3 months but then i felt so great and I was loving theContinue reading “I did it!”
A side of guilt!
This is one emotion I struggle to control. I feel guilt for everything. Guilt for say no to playing a board game with my daughter because I have 10 other things to do, guilt for eating the cake, guilt for taking a day off work sick, guilt for not getting up on time to doContinue reading “A side of guilt!”
To drink or not to drink?
I’ve been a little quiet for the last few weeks, mainly because my parents have been here in Australia visiting so its been busy but also because I am battling with myself about if my future and if it has me drinking alcohol or not. When I started this journey it was for 3 months.Continue reading “To drink or not to drink?”

I listened to a great podcast today, it was with the one year no beer founder and Dr Rangen Chatterjee. It was about his journey, I love to hear peoples journey’s to no alcohol, it really spurs me on and inspired me. They talked a little about the peer pressure of drinking. How many timesContinue reading “Judgement – part 2”
Who’s Judging – Part 1
I think this is an important topic. The reason being is that I still have this idea that some people think I am boring for not drinking. I can just tell, but I am aware that I could also be being a paranoid because I have a fear that I am boring. I am justContinue reading “Who’s Judging – Part 1”
They say the first is the worst!
This weekend we were invited to a Halloween party which has been in the diary for a good while. It’s been 6 weeks since I have been off the booze and in that time I would say I have been laying low. Avoiding places where I am around alcohol for too long. I’ve been forContinue reading “They say the first is the worst!”
