I haven’t written anything for a while because I feel I’ve explained what I needed to and leaving my blog at 2 years later seemed a perfect way to end.

I changed my mind and I’m back, with a slightly more anonymous blog which makes me feel more comfortable. Happy New Year to you all ❤ I hope 2019 is off to a great start for you. I had a quiet but brilliant Christmas and New Year with friends and family. So, let’s get straight to the point. As I’ve

So, the weekend before last I posted on social media that I didn’t want to be sober forever. That is true but I probably need to clear a few things up. I am still very much ON the wagon and today marks 1 year and 1 month of sobriety. When I say I don’t want to be sober forever that
