Sober Girl Diaires
Kicking the booze, one day at a time �
I’m finding other people have more of an issue with me not drinking than them! Bizarre 🌸
Day 67 - Doing all the things a drinker does, apart from drink! So its been a hot minuet since I caught up with my blog. I think there's few reasons for this. Firstly, I have been busy doing that little thing called life! Over the past 9 weeks, I have explored a revolutionary way of living sober and I think its deserves a share. Buckle in, here we go. In previou...
Show of hands if this has been a thing for you?
Practicing gratitude allows us to live in a state of contentment. By being grateful for what you already have, we open up ourselves to the universe, telling it that we are ready to receive more. A great book to guide you through this process is The Magic - Rhonda B
I don’t know if you need to read this, but here you go 🥰
Anyone watch movies or programs about addiction? I’ve found this a useful tool in the early stages of getting sober! Few good ones:
FLIGHT
A ROYAL HANGOVER
THE WAY BACK
INTERVENTION
Your journey ✨
Your pace ✨
Highly recommend this as a watch for anyone who is thinking about quitting or exploring ‘moderation management’
Moderately drinking is something I have tried and realised doesn’t work for me, but for some it does! Anyway, here is a great movie for anyone who may be ‘Sober Curious’

Sober holiday’s!!
Have you done one? How did you feel? Where did you go?
LOVE when sober curious people share their stories with me 🙏🏼
So great to hear everyone’s journey! ❤️
For those seeking moderation, or those quitting completely, your journey is your OWN! Don’t compare it anyone else’s, you’re exactly where your supposed to be right NOW.

Monday thoughts 💭
Sometimes when you make a big change in life like quitting drinking, your friends might not all be supportive. For me, I got around this by asking myself 2 questions..
1: Can I honestly see this person having a positive impact on my life in a sober capacity?, or is our relationship based on inebriation?
2: Does this persons opinion & feedback help me in any way? Is it constructive?
If the answer to either of these questions is NO, I know that I should pay their words no attention 🙅🏽♀️
It super important that when you find your highest vibe, you safeguard that s**t from people who aren’t yet your level!! ✨
Small sober win 🥇
Coming home after a night out, removing make up, cleansing and moisturising before bed 👏🏼
I’d lost count how many times I’d fall asleep pi**ed, contact lenses in and make up on. Used to wake up with eyes as dry as a lizard and skull as dull as a blackboard.
Not anymore ❤️
Did anyone actually enjoy their first drink of alcohol and the way it tasted? Or did you have to get yourself to like it over time?
🥰
Be kind to yourself ☺️ Always 💙
Did you know that booze is just decaying vegetable matter? 🤯🤢
Pretty packaged poison ☠️

I’d be lying if I said that this evening I’m in a good mood. I don’t have any cravings for alcohol, but I DO feel moody and super irritated at everything. If you read my last post regarding the ‘Pink Cloud’ phase of quitting booze, I would reckon that mine is wearing thin. Absolutely have to blog these changes tomorrow. I’ll drop the link when done so I can share my thoughts around this part of the journey ✅
Really interesting read! If you’re wondering what the hell the ‘Pink Cloud’ is, I suggest giving this a read!

Day 17 - Starting strong! I am finding quitting easier this time than ever before. Safe to say, this time has been really different from my previous attempts to ‘banish the booze monster!!’ Now I’ll be honest from the get go, normally I would be quite literally counting the minuets until I could have my beloved booze! ...
