I DID IT!

I bloody well did it! A whole month, without one slip! I honestly didn't think I would at some point during this past month but with the support of a lot of lovely folk and their kind words and donations I can proudly say I am 31 days sober! YAY!

I'm just keeping this one short and sweet as I'm on a high and not really that focussed to write any of the deeper feels I have about the past four weeks! But here's my final round up of drinks I've tried throughout, which I hope you find inspiring if you're looking to replace a few of your boozey beverages any time soon...

Thank you all so much again for your support and donations over the last four weeks! I hope you enjoy riding this little sober-curious rollercoaster with me and if you're interested I'll be writing another post soon that covers some of the touchy-feely, more serious thoughts I have on the subject of alcohol and my ever evolving relationship with it!

In the meantime though, I'll pop a list of resources I've found helpful below. If you think you may be dependant on alcohol please seek advice from your GP.

A HUGE thank you again to everyone who donated! Honestly, your donations have pulled me through a fair few shitty moments when I could have cracked! It means the world to me and SO many other people, who will benefit from your kindness!
