This website started with my blog, My Not So Secret Diary, an honest account of my life, running, anxiety, recovery and everything in between. I found writing (once I'd got over the fear) really helpful in processing my thoughts and feelings in my recovery. I want people to understand that being alcohol free does not make for a boring life, and that if I can get sober, anyone can.

I'm an advocate for living a sober life. Having been through the struggle of recovery, I understand it's not an easy choice, but sometimes it's the only one we have left. Reading other people's experiences really helped me in the early days, and even now, it's nice to know I am not on my own.

Take care!
