| Autumn sunshine. |
Sixth week sober, who'd have thought it. Six weeks (thanks AEG! My sober twin)! Here's my seven days in photos. I'm trying to appreciate the smaller stuff and the bigger stuff. And muddle through the days. A few photos of my week. Sober. Up above, getting out for half an hour as folks have suggested, helps. Mild exercise, but its a start.

| A trip to the city. More autumn sunshine. |
Leaving early morning to drive into the city. No fear of being over the limit this week. That makes a change. A misty start to help our rewarded by sunshine. Fabulous.
 |
| Time on the beach with my old man at the weekend. |
A walk on a different beach, chatting, no sore head, no paranoia. Just chatting. Lovely.
 |
| Roses from a friend, in full bloom. |
Still in my sober bubble, not really wanting to see many friends but that's OK for now. If its what I need to stay sober, that's what I'll do. I know its not forever. I'll come out of hiding soon.
 |
| Lunchtime walks between work commitments. |
Listening to the sober podcasts from Belle whilst walking the dogs. Getting some of those sober thoughts into my everyday places. Although I remember to listen to the sea too, love the sea. Much better without a hangover!
 |
| Early morning misty cups of coffee at the garden gate wrapped up dogs stirring, hens fed. |
I am enjoying mornings again. They're not full of dread from the night before. They're sleepy, unfettered and full of sober friends when I switch my computer on. That's nice. Not checking my it for silly stuff I've sent when drinking the night before.

| Day 42, sunset on the beach yesterday after a day of showers. I wrote my number for today on my local beach. |
So that was my week, my sixth sober week, I'm off to a chums with a warm tray of chocolate brownies to go for lunch, having been outside in my garden since 8am this morning. Small steps. I hope your week was good too. Here's to next week. Taking each day at a time, sober.
Hi Daisy, I loved your photos, especially your sober number in the sand. I hope you have a peaceful week-end. You are doing so well:) KT
ReplyDeleteHey thank you I'm trying to look at life everyday and think, this is good. Look at that. You're lovely for popping by KT. thank you
DeleteDaisy, you are amazing! You're doing so well. Love all the photos, and the way you're doing this. Annie x
ReplyDeleteAnnie thank you we're so lucky we're in a place surrounded by beaches, I love the sea. I'm glad you like them they remind me of how lucky I am. Hugs! x
DeleteWhat a lovely place to get sober and appreciate :) xx
ReplyDeleteYou see 44 days ago when I could only see blackness, these views were still here. We picked this area because of the coastline and the walking/adventures around. So I want to remind myself that the blackness isn't real, the voice that makes me drink is robbing me of this.....Thanks Lucy xx
DeleteI love this Post. thankyou so much for sharing. I particularly loved this:

Hey lisa thank you. Mornings and breakfast, who knew they were something not to dread. Hugs to you too from Scotland!
DeleteNice! See, it's like an entire world opens up before you as a result. That's the spirit! Your brethren and your relatives should really follow that trail. Thanks for sharing that! Wishing you all the best!
