โKindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows"
Just trying to live and love life.
No DMS!! โ
Sober since 5th February 2006.

Meghan Markle hasn't spoken to her father in years because he betrayed her by speaking to the media. She sent him a letter begging him to stop. Yet, somehow she & Prince Harry decided the same tactic would get them back in with the Royal Family. Make it make sense.
#HarryisaLiar
His Grandfather was on his death bed & he went on Oprah to trash his family. He knew his Grandmother was seriously ill but didn't visit her, even though was in the country. They're truly abysmal, whatever his book and Netflix says.

My lovely Mum has gained her Angel Wings early this morning.
I'll miss her every single day, but I'm glad she's no longer suffering, no longer confused and frightened.
I miss my beautiful, wonderful, clever, smart, capable Mum.
Dementia is a wicked disease!
#dementia
I haven't posted for about a week - grieving the loss of my lovely Mum, planning her funeral, dealing with the legalities and looking after Dad.ย
But, I'm still blessed to be sober and living life one day at a time.ย
#RecoveryPosse
In the darkest of my drinking days I would hide the amount I was drinking. I knew it was out of control, but I just didnโt want to acknowledge it.
3 or 4 bottles of wine daily, then topping up with whisky, wasnโt โnormalโ drinking.
Blessed to be sober today!
#RecoveryPosse
Today has been unbearably hard. My lovely Mum is now on End of Life care with only a few days left to live.
I'm catching the first available flight to be with her, and Dad.
I will miss her for the rest of my life.
Give your Mum a huge hug and tell her you love her while you can!
Meetings saved my life, especially in the early days. Weโve got to do whatever it takes for us to get and stay sober!
It felt good to be surrounded by people who had the same problems that I did and understood where I was coming from.
#RecoveryPosse
This last year had been the hardest for me - ill health for me and my husband, ongoing worry of Dad and the recent loss of Mum.
But, I'm blessed to still be sober and so utterly grateful.
#RecoveryPosse
When I was drinking I was never happy. Everything I did involved drinking, thinking about my next drink or buying more alcohol.
Today, I am happy โ life isnโt perfect and problems still happen. But, I have an inner peace and happiness that alcohol never gave me.
#RecoveryPosse
For me, getting sober was more than just putting the drink down. I was filled with anger, fear, resentments and self-loathing.
Today, I am still a work in progress. But, Iโm getting there one day at a time.
#RecoveryPosse
Life isnโt always easy. But living sober makes every single day a true blessing! Today I'm filled with gratitude for my sobriety. Since getting sober I've got married, passed my driving test, gained a university qualification and emigrated!

I didn't drink yesterday.
I haven't had a drink today.
I hope I don't have a drink tomorrow.
One day at a time, so much is possible for this recovering alcoholic.

So Harry despises the other royals for getting into bed with the media โฆ. and is taking his story to: itv, Netflix, CNN, NBC. Got it!
#HarryTheInterview
#PrinceHarry
For several years before starting my recovery I desperately tried to control my drinking. But, I simply couldnโt. Deep down, I knew I had a serious addiction but I wasnโt ready to accept it and find help.
Blessed and truly grateful to be sober today.
#RecoveryPosse
What's the ugly 'X' doing where the friendly Twitter bird used to be? Birds are liked, are usually pretty, have personality, andโฆ vocalize with tweets! The letter X? Cold, angular, harsh - it may "mark the spot", but it can also mean "cancelled".
#bringbackthebird
For me, I know that I canโt have just one drink - even one sip will send me spiraling back into my alcoholism.
I am lucky to have found recovery and made it through the dark times. But, I might not be so lucky next time!
My sobriety means everything to me!!!
#RecoveryPosse
Before weโre all shaken this evening with the footage, can we talk about Tyre Nichols and that incredible smile of his.
He was a BEAUTIFUL young man.
๐ Rest in peace, dear man.
My Dad was admitted to hospital this afternoon with acute kidney injury. Heโs 95 and not in good health anyway. I'm seriously worried about him.
Any prayers or positive vibes for him would be appreciated.
#RecoveryPosse
Today I am 17 years sober and truly grateful!
My story is filled with broken parts and poor decisions. But, itโs also filled with a major comeback, true peace in my heart and soul and some amazing friends.
Totally grateful!

Thank you so much for all of the love and support youโve shown me. I am humbled!
My sobriety is strong: Iโm not going to ruin today with my health worries. Iโm keeping things in the day & having a peaceful weekend!
One day at a time I can face the unfaceable!!!
#RecoveryPosse
I've been struggling for a few months, but it's been worse since the loss of Mum.
Today, I have reached out for help! Baby steps and I'll get there.
#depression
My recovery is such a precious gift - itโs the most important thing I have. Without it, I'll lose everyone that I love & everything that I value.
Never again do I want the suicidal thoughts, shame, self-loathing & regret that accompanied me in active addiction.

@PinocchPrincess
I'm not a fan of his although I wish him well in his recovery. I just think he's entitled to a fair trial, not just a trial through the newspapers and news channels.
So proud of my choice after years of trying to control my drinking or trying to quit!
It's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done!ย

Seeing people in recovery building a new life for themselves, growing spiritually and fulfilling their true potential is one of the most beautiful things to witness.
Itโs happening to so many people across the world! Iโm going to keep that thought close to me!

@Mystifeye
She didn't tell tabloids to stop the circus when she was accepting an award for pointing out the racism within the royal family, or when Prince Philip was dying, or when the Queen was dying. Nasty woman will never find real happiness!
Over the years I have been blessed to meet a lot of people in recovery. Never once I have met anyone who hasnโt been truly grateful for their recovery!
My recovery from alcoholism is always at the top of my gratitude list! I am blessed!
#RecoveryPosse
My sobriety truly is a blessing - without my sobriety I would be dead now.
My sobriety has brought me true joy, freedom and a deep happiness. Life isnโt perfect, but itโs infinitely better than when I was drinking.
Have a fabulous Friday!

When I was drinking I was never really happy. I tried to convince myself I was, but I felt absolutely nothing at all.
Today, I am happy. Sobriety has given me a happy life. Iโm truly blessed to be sober and so very grateful.
#RecoveryPosse
This is the face of a recovering alcoholic - sober, grateful, happy & living my best life!
There shouldnโt be a stigma to addiction โ it can happen to anyone! Thatโs why Iโm happy to show to the world that Iโm a recovering alcoholic!

When I was drinking I completely lost myself. I would change my character to try to fit in, I would lie, I would exaggerate, I would pretend to be someone Iโm not.
Today, Iโm busy being myself and loving my sober life. I never want to be that lost person again.

Very hard days - taking my 94yo Dad to visit my 87yo Mum in hospital. Mum has dementia and probably won't be allowed home for her own well-being.
Truly grateful for my sobriety so I can be a good daughter and support my ageing parents.
#RecoveryPosse
I never felt good about myself when I was drinking โ NEVER! I was filled with a deep self-loathing that was always present.
When I stopped drinking I started to feel better about myself.
I never want to feel the way alcohol made me feel again.
#RecoveryPosse
I donโt know if I would live through another relapse, so today Iโm not taking any chances! My sobriety, and the life I have built up, are far too precious to waste through getting drunk!
Have a super day!
#RecoveryPosse
#ODAAT
I have NEVER regretted not drinking the next day โ but I sure have regretted drinking the next day, more times than I can remember.
The early days of sobriety arenโt the easiest, but they are doable. And, they are so rewarding!
You CAN do this!
#RecoveryPosse
Going to bed sober and remembering the whole day, and then waking up hangover-free the next day is a feeling that never wears off in my sobriety!
I hope you have a great weekend!!
#RecoveryPosse
#ODAAT
The accumulation of those early 24-hours were filled with doubt and fear about not making it.
Thereโs a lot going on in my life right now, but I havenโt picked up a drink!
Together we DO recover!!!

Time to get some sleep. Itโs been a long and stressful day, but also with good moments.
Tomorrow morning I will remember everything I have said and done, and thatโs one of the joys of my sobriety.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!
#RecoveryPosse
There definitely is life after addiction. My life was a pitiful existence when I was drinking, now I have a lovely life!
Iโm loud and proud about my recovery - if I can help just one person then Iโll be very happy.
Have a wonderful, sober Saturday!
#RecoveryPosse
#ODAAT
I am always truly grateful for my sobriety. When I was finally ready to stop drinking, I knew I was eventually going to kill myself with alcohol. It wasnโt what I wanted for my life, or loved ones.
Every sober day is a blessing!
Have a great day!
#RecoveryPosse

Before I started recovery, I couldnโt imagine being able to have fun if I wasnโt drinking. But, what fun is there in a crippling hangover?
Loving my sobriety and grateful every single day.
#RecoveryPosse
Recovery has brought me so many joys and special moments in my life.
Mostly, it has brought me my self-respect back, given me honesty in all of my dealings and made me a more caring and compassionate person.
Truly grateful to be sober today.
#RecoveryPosse
When I first started on my recovery journey I struggled so much. But, I hung in there because long-timers in AA told me it would get better.
Guess what? They were right!!!

Prince Harry, who constantly complains about the press invading his privacy, releases a book giving details about how he shagged some woman behind a pub, his drug taking, physical fights with his brother, and what his penis looks like. ๐ฅด
There are 2 days in every week you canโt worry about - yesterday & tomorrow. You canโt change what happened yesterday & canโt control what will happen tomorrow. So live for today!
Happy weekend, everyone!!!

Nobody is offended โ simply disgusted that even you could stoop so low!
Innocent babies have been murdered, families have been devastated by the worst possible loss, lives changed forever โ and you turn it into a race issue!
My drug of choice was alcohol. But, without getting sober and working the 12 steps I would not be the person I have become.
I like who I am today - when I was drinking I was full of guilt, shame and self-loathing.
Have a super, sober day!
#RecoveryPosse

The joy of waking up early, feeling refreshed and hangover free never wears off!
I don't miss the crippling hangovers, the guilt and shame when I was drinking.

Protecting my sobriety is the most important thing I have to do today. Without my sobriety I would lose everything I've worked so hard to achieve.ย
Today I'm staying sober so I can be the best version of myself for me & my loved ones.ย
Have a great day!ย

I didn't get sober on my first attempt. It took a number of tries before it started to make sense & started to stick.ย
But, I didn't stop trying!ย
Don't quit before the miracle happens! You deserve recovery! You are worthy of recovery!ย
Have a great Saturday!ย

@Mystifeye
Harry wouldn't know the truth if it came up to him, introduced itself, spent several hours explaining to him how it works, bought him lunch and then wished him a good day!!!
This is so true for me!
When I was drinking I couldnโt see that alcohol was at the heart of all of my problems. Only when I stopped drinking did my problems start to improve.
Have a great, sober Monday!
#RecoveryPosse

My recovery has given me so much that I thought I had lost permanently. Iโm now blessed to do the day-to-day things that many people take for granted.
Whatever you have achieved in recovery is fantastic!!! We are all rock stars!!!
#RecoveryPosse
Every single day I make my sobriety a priority! Without my sobriety I will lose everything and everyone dear to me.
Have a wonderful, sober Thursday!

Not Tweeted much recently. Mumโs death and Dadโs ill health has hit me hard.
But, Iโm still sober and truly grateful!
Have a wonderful day!
#RecoveryPosse
I wouldnโt have been able to get through the last 5 weeks if I had been drinking.
I had so much to organize and arrange. I had so many emotions to deal with.
Grateful to still be sober.
#RecoveryPosse
Trading hangovers for happiness is the very best thing I have ever done!
No more guilt, shame or lies. Even sober bad days are vastly better than a good day when I was drinking!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

MM could have made some good changes to RF. But, she wanted to be number one and wouldnโt accept her place in the hierarchy.
BTW, Camilla and Kate donโt owe anyone anything!
When I was drinking I didnโt realise I needed a second chance at life โ all I could think about was alcohol.
Today, I have a wonderful life โ it isnโt perfect, but I can handle the ups and downs vastly better than when I was drinking.
#RecoveryPosse
Iโve always been loud and proud of my recovery. Iโm not ashamed of being in recovery - itโs part of who I am.
If being open about it encourages one other person, then itโs worth it!
Have a super, sober Tuesday!

Grateful to be sober this morning (and every morning!). An early start for me, but with a clear head and feeling bright.
