One Year Sober

[Itsenoughnow]

Hello lovely mumsnetters just wanted to share that one year ago today I gave up alcohol, I feel so much better for it and the support I have had on mumsnet really helped. Just wanted to say thanks and to anyone who is struggling sending love and support.

Amazing! Well done!

An amazing achievement!

Massive congratulations 🥳

Huge congratulations, @Itsenoughnow, that's fantastic.

Please tell us more - in need the inspiration!

Hey everyone thanks for the lovely messages! I think that a year ago i had got to the point where I was drinking a bottle of Prosecco a night and more and I was starting to scare myself, once I’d made the decision that I just couldn’t do this to myself or my family I made sure I had lots of non alcoholic drinks diet tonics nosecco cordials in and substituted alcohol for those. Unfortunately it hasn’t solved my weight problem ( that’s another thread! ) but I feel a million times better in myself, I sleep and function better and my menopause symptoms are a lot easier to manage. I also am spending less money too. Good luck to anyone on their journey it’s not always easy but definitely worth it ! Sending love and strength xxx

Well done, OP! That's an absolutely monumental achievement!! 👏💪 Keep going! 💐

What a fantastic achievement OP! Well done.
