Beautiful Hangover

five years of sobriety has Transformed my perspective Five years sober, I have no regrets about my decision to quit. For a problem...

In my first year sober I wasn't convinced my drinking was that bad. Five years later I have a very different perspective.

After I got sober, I became painfully aware of my people-pleasing habit. Now I'm working to destroy it.

Now I’m almost five years sober, the idea of not drinking being boring is laughable. But I still remember the boredom of those early days.

I would never have managed to quit drinking if I’d known what it entailed short term.

Here are the different ways I have tried to defeat the witching hour over the years, and how I managed to beat it for good, four years ago.

When I was nine years old I had a beautiful, charismatic best friend.
