Hello my loves, I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far? Here are some photos from my trip back to Shrewsbury in August/September this year. I got to see Gareth, catch up with family and friends, have lots of nice meals out, go to a fun pub quiz, and generally just really enjoy myself.
I also stopped drinking alcohol! Someone very close to me had been struggling with alcoholism for a long time, and realised they needed to quit. So I decided to quit with them, in solidarity. As I write this post, I am 100 days sober, and they are doing fantastic. It has definitely been a lifestyle change, but it has not stopped me from going out and having a great time with my friends. We are lucky that there are so many non-alcoholic drinks available these days, so I can still have a beer, a glass of wine, or a mocktail at the end of the day, and feel like I'm having a "grown up" drink. Guinness 0.0 is especially good, so I drink that when I'm out in Ireland, and it tastes almost exactly like the real thing. If you follow my stories on Instagram you will have seen that I am doing a non-alcoholic beer advent calendar, and taking photos of the different beers every day, to highlight how many different options there are out there. As an ex-bartender, I have also been having a lot of fun making mocktails, and coming up with creative and delicious drinks with zero alcohol in them. To anyone out there who is struggling with any kind of addiction, I send love and strength. You can do this!
