June 2016 – New mum in recovery
https://newmuminrecovery.wordpress.com/2016/06
New mum in recovery. 8230;this is my life. That’s what it’s about. I’m not perfect and I never will be. As long as I do something everyday to improve myself I’m doing OK. Realising this is hard for me as I want to do a million things in a day. and do them all perfectly. Not gonna happen is it! The same applies to me as a person. I want to be this amazingly spiritual serene person that glidddeesss through life and doesn’t let anything bother me. Again…not gonna happen! June 16, 2016. That’s not an i...

May 2016 – New mum in recovery
https://newmuminrecovery.wordpress.com/2016/05
New mum in recovery. 8230;this is my life. It’s a holiday weekend! Whilst I’m not working it does mean that LH is off work for 3 days! I enjoy family time. In the weeks its more of a few snatched hours together but when its the weekend we can go for coffee and walks and sit in the garden. Friday and Saturday nights are also amazing as he shares the night feeds and I get a bit more sleep! Not just a small twitch of the lips buy a big full on smile! 🙂 I felt lifted when I was driving back from her house.

Writing my way out of drinking. No more days like this. January 28, 2015. January 28, 2015. I am here on a Saturday morning. Shaky, hungover, crying, ashamed, wishing for the world to swallow me whole. For not the first time in recent weeks, I am wondering how to escape being me and those thoughts are dangerous and extreme. This is what I have done to myself. My stomach churns. My head pounds. My heart aches. I hurt. Everything hurts. Begin somewhere, anywhere. January 26, 2015. January 26, 2015. I know ...

One year on | sparkly sober
https://sparklysober.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/one-year-on
Writing my way out of drinking. July 11, 2015. July 12, 2015. My clothes, as usual, were smoky and strewn across the floor. My stomach, as usual, quivered dangerously. My phone, as usual, revealed a series of increasingly attention-seeking messages to people whose numbers I should have deleted long ago. My memory, as usual, was patchy. That friendship was the first tangible thing I had lost, in a long time, because of alcohol. The plan, when I started this blog on that day last year, was to stop drinking.

Writing my way out of drinking. Going my own way. July 18, 2015. July 18, 2015. By the time I arrived I was warm, headache-free and enjoying the freshness of winter air in my lungs. I was so glad I decided to walk instead of drive because I just had an instinct, which I trusted, that a walk was exactly what I needed. All these little moments of trusting myself are adding up. I’m scared →. 4 thoughts on “ Going my own way. July 18, 2015 at 2:27 am. Liked by 1 person. Suburbanbetty clean and serene. I agre...

Writing my way out of drinking. A little bit of inspiration. June 27, 2015. I love Leonard Cohen’s music and poetry. If I could pick one thing which sums up how I feel about surviving (and starting to thrive) this past year, it would be this. Got company →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Why am I still here? | sparkly sober
https://sparklysober.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/why-am-i-still-here
Writing my way out of drinking. Why am I still here? June 20, 2015. This week I wasn’t going to drink at all. That somehow turned into approximately four bottles of wine in the course of five evenings. Quite a lot of that was last night. I do not feel sparkly. So, why am I still here? We all know why I’m still here. Why (again) →. 18 thoughts on “ Why am I still here? June 20, 2015 at 12:41 am. But it hurt too much. Those 2 days eventually meant more to me than all the others.

Writing my way out of drinking. February 28, 2015. I get like this sometimes. Lack of sleep doesn’t help. This final post-grad which I need to do in order to actually get a practising certificate (don’t even start me on the exclusive, expensive, hoity-toity monopoly that is entry to legal practice in Australia) is. February 22, 2015. No judgement. No raised eyebrows. A pat on the back from one guy who simply said “I’ve been there” and went back to sipping the one beer he’d...It is only day 3, but it is m...
