Wish I could include a credit for this image, but can’t seem to locate the source.
It speaks volumes to me.
The new me is really the old me.
In the image I see the old me re-emerging from a thick blanket of denial of my needs, of my true self, of self-medication and of lethargy.
One year of sobriety is now, to quote a Trisha Yearwood song, the nearest distant shore…. I can see it from here!
I’m sober, I’m physically active, I’m losing weight, I am trying to be unapologetically me, and I’m trying to show up to my life in full awareness every single day.
Hello me!
Bless all of you reading this. ❤️

As Margo Channing said in All About Eve, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night”
January 1, 2018, I set down my cocktail (wine is my self-medicating choice) — this time once and for all.
This means I have made it through 365 days sober!
But the journey doesn't stop here...
I am fastening my seatbelt for another bumpy year ahead. All *second* 365 days will be sober and full of gratitude. That's the plan - even knowing some of the bumps ahead, such as the 'Wine Witch', the 'Wall' and Wine O'Clock.
