I think the hubs and I are going to have to converse. Halp, (PS I’m your newest biggest fan girl x). Wtf do non-drinky people do after the kids are in bed? I’m 10 days in and the telly just broke. So I’ve treated myself to fancy lime flavoured water because it’s Saturday night and I’m worth it! ?. This is not wine obv – but I only just bought these amazing glasses and want to use them. I’ve had lots of questions about why I’m no longer drinky Mim so I have responded in a big over-shary blog post – link in bio. And it’s exciting – because the health benefits of quitting alcohol I’m already feeling are amazing! But I understand that I need to face them, as tough as it sometimes is. Which is awesome as now I get to face them head on, stone cold sober. I purposefully drank to ‘forget’ or to ‘minimise’ the shit storm around me.Īlcohol was numbing the pain but fueling the anxiety fire and I appreciate now that I was only masking my demons, not facing them. #soberaf #sobriety #sobermum #sobermom #sobermommy #soberlife #soberliving #soberissexy #febfast #soberevolution #soberlifestyle #sobermovement #sobernation #sobercommunity #sobersquad #soberwomen #soberwonen #soberwoman #soberity #sobersister #sobersisters #cleanandsober #soberfun #soberjourney #soberbia #sobergirls #sobersaturday #soberisbetter #tiredmumsclub #tiredmumĪ post shared by MIM JENKINSON on at 7:10pm PDT I can, I needed to and I am ? feeling proud ?. There’s so much in life that’s out of my hands but this is something major that I CAN control. Like I said, there are millions of small wins too – but these are the two I’m loving the most. Now I wake up fresh(ish), guilt-free and focused. No more guilt of ‘why did I drink again?’ or ‘why did I have that last drink?’. It’s a miracle! For years I blamed being a mum for sleeping so lightly – but now I’m pretty sure it was the wine. 1) I sleep – like super deep lovely proper big sleep! I still have issues getting to sleep some nights but once I’m there, I’m gone. There are loads of benefits so far but here are the best two. That’s the longest I’ve ever gone apart from pregnancies and chemo I think. Tomorrow will mark 7 weeks of Alcohol-freeness – hurrah!. You can check out the book that helped me quit drinking here in Australia, here in the US and here in the UK.
