Replace drinking with something?
Nope
There’s no replacement
Just the slow grind of life, the good times and the shit times…same as before…but with no escape
Do I regret going #sober?
Fuck No!
Life without those regrets is worth it 👍
but it’s not all roses 🤷

Today is my 273rd day of sobriety !
I've had lots of support and help from my wonderful spouse, friends and the Unseen Hand of Zabroo.
My the Undulations of Zabroo bring forth Our Great Confusion

#MyCross as the song says. I want to be the #dad they deserve and not one who has a #drink to numb life.

Well, last night we got snow. I had to accept it and setup the indoor trainer and jump into ERG training. Today, I learned how to see ice before I slip on it while running... Not a skill I've considered #triathlontraining #soberdad #soberlife #stayathomedad #toocold #soberlifestyle
Looking back and feeling sad is fine… but you can’t stay in that moment. Build the courage to imagine a bright future that you’re in control of 🙌 life is beautiful 🥰

You know that dread feeling when you remember the night before when you might have brought everyone champagne, then go to check you bank balance…
… I remember it as a distant memory 🥰

A call is worth a million texts.
A chat in person is worth a million calls.
A hug from a friend when you’re in need is worth a million chats.
Talk more, text less, hug every chance you get 🥰

Is Tea and biscuits a thing anywhere outside the UK?
If not… why not?
It should be 👍
I couldn’t imagine being sober without a decent cup of tea and some malted milk biscuits 🙌

Not checked my days in a long time.
But …. 1,948 days #sober 😁
Not long until my own 2k whoop whoop 🙌
How’s everyone else getting on with their count?

If you get up at the weekend and within the first half of the day are already thinking about a drink, at all, you probably have a problem… I did.
… the good news is. Now is the easiest time you’re ever going to have to do something about it 😊

List the advantages of having a beer… then the disadvantages…
… for me the beer was to relax, to socialise, to calm my nerves, to have a good time…
…then I thought… that’s a shit example for my kids if I have to drink to do any of that.

That fuck it moment…
… when you say:
Fuck this, I’m having a drink
Then drive to the nearest shop buy it, bring it home and drink it as quickly as you can.
Thing is, it’s only a moment. If you distract yourself for 30 minutes it passes and you win.

#DryJanuary is a pain in the arse. If you can do it, fair play. Hats off.
But in feb reflect, see how much more awake you are, how much more cash you have, how much better you feel.
Alcohol is a poison which I used to depend on at every occasion. I couldn’t go back.

When you can’t be bothered to do something… do it straight away… as soon as you decide ‘i can’t be arsed’ is exactly the time you need to start doing it.
The rest of your life then starts to becomes easier 😊

I always remember how much of a let down new years always was. Usually too drunk to remember midnight, always a few hundred quid down and the dread over what I’d said, done or text when I work up 🤷
… #sober is soooo much easier 😊

One way to look at parenting is to consider the metaphor of putting up guardrails for your kids. And these guardrails shift as they get older. #podcast #parenting #sobriety #recovery #soberdad #soberparenting #diy #stillpunkrock
I no longer dislike Mondays, I've matured. I hate life now 🙃
