Finally beginning to see the bigger changes I expected from giving up alcohol. One year in. It takes that long. Mainly physical, but also psychological.

Although I miss some aspects of drinking I can now clearly see the benefits of stopping: but I haven’t turned into an anti-drink crusader. I feel bizarrely at peace with it. I’d been drinking a long time, but like giving up tobacco it’s never too late I guess.

Getting into shrubs (the drinking kind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrub_%28drink%29 )

This is the first post I've made on any platform about celebrating any kind of #sobriety milestone. But, this is a very special milestone.

Today is my #SoberForSatan day. I have been #AlcoholFree for #666 days.

Quitting alcohol was one of the best things I ever did. Three years today 🥳

I’m a non-drinker - when I do feel inclined these are my go two’s 😉😁

🍷 Lurton Fumees Blanches Zero N/A sauvignon blanc from the Gascogne wine region of France.

Notes of grapefruit, lime and boxwood and a bit of lemon meringue. Very light and thankfully not flabby like most of the NA SBs I've tasted.

I picked it up at Sarmentine in Petaluma. They have a handful of NA wines for sale in their retail section! I could see this wine pairing well with a fresh croissant from the pastry case!
