I’ve lost count of the times I’ve reinvented myself. I’m similar a brunette version of Madonna only amongst less muscle, droopier boobs too a non-existent toy boy.
Reinvention is non e'er a bad thing. We may wishing to alter our wellness too wellbeing next an illness. Perhaps a modify inwards career administration may exceed away necessary due to redundancy, or nosotros mightiness desire to grow into a to a greater extent than mature mentality afterwards hitting a respectable age.
The alone fleeting instant of incertitude I direct keep had over the final seventeen months came lately (Sunday 24th May to endure exact). The reason? It was my birthday. I wasn’t upset that I couldn’t direct keep a drinking glass of bubbles amongst breakfast, or a cocktail over dinner. No, the argue I had a tee-total wobble, was when I surveyed the birthday cards on my mantelpiece.

Perhaps a modify inwards career administration may exceed away necessary due to redundancy, or nosotros mightiness desire to grow into a to a greater extent than mature mentality afterwards hitting a respectable age. As I expect dorsum over my life too its many trials too tribulations I realise that instead of reinventing myself I should direct keep been happy amongst who I was. I had an insane belief that I needed to curvature my grapheme to jibe other people. Maybe I was a chameleon inwards around other life? Whatever the reason, I’ve spent the final 10 years trying to observe out who I really am.
One of my to a greater extent than recent reinventions was to laissez passer on upwards alcohol – for good!! Now, if you lot know me at all, you lot volition sympathize the magnitude of this task. I liked a sip – or ii – or three. I was a political party daughter who could knock dorsum several bottles of plonk too exceed away on a room entertained amongst my ‘loud’ silliness. Of course, this frivolity did cipher for my mental wellness too for every ‘good black out’ I had, I suffered from many to a greater extent than black thoughts. So, on New Year’s Eve 2013 I had my final drink.
I honestly idea this would endure a difficult challenge to stick to only equally the twelvemonth rolled yesteryear I flora it easier too easier to endure tee-total. Parties, birthdays too weekends were all of a precipitous pleasant affairs where I could holler upwards every conversation I had too wake upwards at a reasonable lx minutes the adjacent hateful solar daytime equally a fully operational human being.

I wasn’t upset that I couldn’t direct keep a drinking glass of bubbles amongst breakfast, or a cocktail over dinner. No, the argue I had a tee-total wobble, was when I surveyed the birthday cards on my mantelpiece. Flowers, hearts, sequins, birds too an assortment of frilly borders stared dorsum at me. The beautiful messages from my loved ones remained the same. I was filled amongst honey too gratitude that I direct keep such an amazing bunch of people inwards my life – BUT - direct keep I turned into a deadening onetime fart?!
The cards I used to have years agone were all funny. Hilarious cartoons too vino related quips! Oh, how times direct keep changed, only when I intend close my Facebook timeline, I realise something. I direct keep stopped sharing all the funny cartoons, too the ‘I honey cooking amongst wine, sometimes I fifty-fifty pose it inwards the food’ jokes. They used to accept upwards the bulk of my posts too shares. So, it would look that my alcohol-free lifestyle HAS changed me inwards around way. What a shock.
I am to a greater extent than than happy amongst who I am now. I'm proud to endure a member of the tee-total brigade, and I won't endure hitting the sip over again whatever fourth dimension soon. The benefits of existence alcohol free, for me, outweigh the pleasance of drinking. But, for my adjacent challenge, I vow to observe the funny side of life in i trial more. If you lot follow me on Facebook endure warned…I’m on a mission to reinvent myself!
