I'm on my last pack now and will just redo some if no new ones are added. Its made such a difference to my mental and physical health and has got me through some very dark patches.

I was sober for over 3 months last year and never felt better, but Christmas came and I gave in, convinced I was 'missing out'. Well, I've come to realise that by drinking a bottle of wine a night I am well and truly missing out on life and feeling great, so I have quit for good. This post really resonates with me. Wine has been my escape for too long, taking me away from the usual worries about work and children. I have downloaded the app and I am giving it a go today. It's early days for me - day 2, but the fact that I am writing a comment on a blog for the first time ever tells me I am really serious about this!soberandserenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364864617773132545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-67829145745993502672017-04-22T02:29:18.038-07:002017-04-22T02:29:18.038-07:00Good for you Sharon!

Although its not such a problem as when I was drinking. I think the wine made it worse when the effects wore off. Must also say that today is my Soberversary! 1 whole year so I have done all the first time things like holidays, Christmas and birthdays. I couldn't be more happy. hardly think about alcohol anymore it just isn't an issue. The relief is enormous.

It feels weird and you want to keep following your thoughts around but just by bringing your attantion back to the breath/mantra halps train the mind.

I've tried a couple of times, but I struggled and became impatient. I'm glad you are finding it's working for you. I'm going to give it another go.
