Recovered Cocaine addict. Addictive Voice Recognition Technique advocate #avrt #recoveryposse. Travel, music and dog lover. Free of addiction since 6/2/2021
Afternoon #recoveryposse today marks four years since my last sip of alcohol & line of cocaine.

I was a mess. Drinking & using every day, tens of thousands in debt.

I’m now addiction & debt free

Forever grateful ❤️

Morning #RecoveryPosse this will be my 4th sober Christmas

The 1st one, my addiction made me feel like it was going to be awful, I’d miss out, friends would laugh at me for not drinking or using & more

Guess what? None of that happened, I enjoyed myself & now Christmas is fun!

It’s very easy to put pressure on yourself to make the ‘perfect’ Christmas by comparing your plans to others.

My advice is just do the things you enjoy, with your family & friends & take no notice of what everyone else is up to.

Make memories not instagram likes.

I am encouraging anyone experiencing any form of addiction or those who know someone who is to reach out for support

The one piece of advice I can give over the festive period to anyone trying to beat an addiction is:

Put your recovery first. There will be more Christmases this way.

If you don’t, there may not.

Treat #recovery like a matter of life & death. Because it is.

In the mood to knock shite out of a big grazing board with some fresh bread and baked Camembert. Anyone up for it?

Ye ma’s fake tan looks like the inside of a Tupperware that’s been used to store bolognese.

Most addicts in early recovery have trouble believing they'll ever have fun again but if they hang in there, it's amazing how good life can become ❤️

If your dog brings a toy over to you.

You HAVE to play with it.

Them’s the rules.

Your dog may only be here for part of your life, but for your dog you are their whole life.

Is the rule now we copy and paste what we posted on Twitter on here? Asking for a mate.

A short story:

The Mrs has gone out.

I’m home with doggo

I’ve got a sandwich the size of a toddler for my tea.

With some chips and gravy.

The end.

1,403 days ago I was lucky enough to be able to ask for help to get sober. I took cocaine every day & abused alcohol. I was very unwell & couldn’t stop.

The book Rational Recovery by Jack Trimpey & the support of many in #recoveryposse helped me get here.

Please believe you can beat addiction

Seeing all these adverts on TV for competitions offering cash prizes in time for Christmas makes me sad.

It’s praying on the vulnerable in yet another way.

Advertising for ALL forms of gambling should be banned

Best part about working away in USA is getting home and seeing my dog.

Hasn’t left my side since I got back.

Facebook memories showed a photo of me from 9 years ago. At the time I was drinking & using regularly

The change in my appearance is motivating to me, I look pale, sick, puffy & dead eyed

In 2 days I will be 3 years, 10 months sober. Keep going, we do recover

Nothing worse than hearing a recording of your own voice.

It’s up there with touching a bit of food when doing the washing up.

The holiday season
The time expectations are ramped out of control
Expectations that others put on us, and we put on ourselves
Food
Presents
Behaviours
Money
Time
Drinking/not drinking
Family dynamics
People pleasing
It's a lot
This year, let's support each other
