But, you know, her path brought wonderful things too, things I am only now - at Day 46 - starting fully to cherish. I *love* my life, and I *love* being free of alcohol to realise just how much I love it. Also, since I'm clearly all loved up: I love your blog - I am reading it from the beginning - thank you, thank you, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-12928910796112018602015-04-27T14:59:56.779-07:002015-04-27T14:59:56.779-07:00Sober life at its best .What a lovely post SM .

And I LOVE AF beer, although I'm becoming a bit worried about it - I'm doing a post on that one soon.... You're doing great.

I spent days 47, 48 & 49 on a city break. Having spent days 40-46 with the internal debate of 'how am I going to cope/ I can have '3 days off' then go back to sobriety can't I?!/what a wasted opportunity to not spend 3 days drinking in such a beautiful city etc I made the decision not to drink. And I can honestly say, making that decision and sticking to it wasn't half as challenging as I had expected. When we arrived the first thing I ordered was... .an alcohol free cocktail. I was sat in the sun, outside in a continental cafe and my 'mocktail' was devine. Over the break I tried many more, along with the local alcohol-free beer (once I'd stringently checked it was in fact alcohol free) and only had to resort to diet coke once. So to pass a pub back home and still get that 'refreshing' memory took me by complete surprise. Nobody is perfect, especially me. xLushNoMorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018195957277312286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-88366927862637502942015-04-26T11:57:17.100-07:002015-04-26T11:57:17.100-07:00Dear SM,

This is it. I choose how to spend my time here. I might go today or 30 years from today. <br />I am glad you are choosing the path of life with your family!!<br />xo<br />WendyUntipsyteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975521042875808241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-66238403981912244462015-04-26T11:38:06.705-07:002015-04-26T11:38:06.705-07:00P.s happy birthday #2.

I found myself driving past a pub on Friday evening thinking how nice it would be to go there (at the end of the week) sit in the sun in the beer garden and enjoy a refreshing alcohol free cocktail. Now there's a first! I love waking up without a hint of alcohol in my system. Keep up the good work xLushNoMorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018195957277312286noreply@blogger.com
