It was pure coincidence I suppose, but I still find it astounding.
On 15 February 2010, I changed my Facebook status to:
Today = 1 whole year without alcohol. Never felt better. The challenge is set… anyone game?
Amongst the reply posts, one of my friends sent me a link to the Sydney Morning Herald story on Chris [...]
I have now completed Week One of this new adventure. So far everything has gone swimmingly. I’m feeling good, I’ve gone surfing everyday since I started (no signs of improved ability as of yet, will update findings next week) and have had basically no desire to drink…which is good…I think.
The weekend posed no real threat to my [...]

A massive, massive lesson for me lately, that seems to be manifesting in so many areas of my life (I am sure – just so I really get it!) is the lesson of ‘letting go’. And oh how I am being tested. Haha.
Tomorrow, at a sparrows yawn, I will be making my way down to [...]
Well one week down and feeling better already! In the first week I decided to avoid any social outings to the pub, thought I would save that challenge until week two! I am really, really happy with my progress already – I’m alot less sluggish, have so much more energy and enthusiasm already! For instance [...]
