At the beginning of my sobriety journey, swapping alcohol for TEA

So proud of myself #RecoveryPosse

This new challenge has given me a new direction and focus, I’m so excited for this new chapter

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

Such a turn around of emotions today. I played rugby league for many years and as my playing career comes to an end I was feeling lost. I decided to take things to the next stage, I submitted an article to an online RL page and was accepted onto their writing team to cover game

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

I am currently their only female writer so I can give a new take on the game and focus on the womens game too. I have also enrolled on a refereeing course so I can give something back to the sport. I would have never taken this step if I was still drinking.

I hate November, it’s my dads birthday on the 12th and the anniversary of his passing on the 20th. This month more than any I relied on alcohol to numb myself. I WILL stay sober, I need to find something to fill the void. I have not achieved anything 2day but I will not drink!

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

This has been the longest time I’ve been alcohol free..
However today has been a bit “MEH” I’ve felt lethargic and I’ve had an anxious feeling in my stomach allday. So I’ve called it a day, 7:45pm and I’m tucked up in bed ready to sleep.. tomorrow is a new day

@dmcByTheSea @lspraggan The song is called sober, but she lots of amazing songs

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

Drunk me: I don’t know why I have no money left at the end of the month and can’t lose weight…..

Also me:

I survived my second PT session and feel GREAT (this includes my warm up) bit different than my old Fridays

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

@soigneaubade Basically I spoke a lot of BS , my partner didn’t like me drinking and tried to help me before I realised I needed help myself, I used to say things in blackout that she tried to control me. She was trying to help and I threw it back in her face all the time

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

What has been the biggest difference since your sobriety journey started?

Mine is that I don’t wake up with the fear, wondering what I said during blackout

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

@JKell_74 I may have lost feeling in my a*se but my humour is still there 😂

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

24 days sober and I did my first spinning class, and for the first time in years It’s not alcohol making walking difficult 😂

@BarrySux @ThatEricAlper System of a down - toxicity

@hey_miiike Thankyou so much. I appreciate I am one of the lucky ones as not everyone has a great support system

[SobrieTEA @sobrie_tea]

I had a really stressful afternoon and REALLY wanted a beer, I took myself for a swim instead… then my partner took me and our daughter out for pizza to replace the calories I burnt 😂

Good end to what could have been a bad day
