It is five years today since my last drink. #teetotal #sober #alcoholfree #depression #anxiety.
I reflected on this hugely-positive change in my life in a blog post on the fourth anniversary of being #alcoholfree / #sober last year: https://www.amjcounselling.com/amj-blog/four-years-alcohol-free.

If someone doesn't want to drink, it's not funny to secretly pour alcohol into their glass. That would be a reason to end the friendship. #alcohol #teetotal #reminder

In middle of busy day of #counselling, including a moving group session with year 11 boys dealing with a recent suicide, I was greeted by this welcome sight @Fortnums upon my return home. Made me smile. Great tea is a big part of my #selfcare. #teetotal #sober #irishbreakfasttea

Currently on Day 52 of Dry January. Don’t want to boast or post regularly about this but I feel so much better in myself. The reset is just what I needed. I want to go long enough to say I don’t drink any more and that’s a big commitment. Therefore no posts about this on any other platforms. Just me saying I’m on with it and I am enjoying the challenge. Just another one of 2023’s life changing decisions. #alcohol #alcoholfree #dryjanuary #noalcohol #teetotal #BoozeFreeInTwentyThree

The absolute clarity has returned. The total control over my feelings and emotions and not being a passenger in my life any longer. No longer a slave to someone else’s thoughts or opinions. Nobody living in my head rent free. Removing alcohol from my life has done that and long may it continue. #alcohol #noalcohol #teetotal #regaincontrol #getyourlifeback #youcandoit #lifechanging #newstart #newbeginnings #newlife #daybyday

I’m very much enjoying Tanqueray 0%. I was a big gin lover before I stopped drinking alcohol. A double of this with my usual mixer and a wedge of lime really hits the spot #teetotal #sober

OK, so here is my #introduction !

I live in the most isolated capital city in the world, #Perth , and therefore on Whadjuk #noongar boodja. I pay my respects to the traditional custodians of the land, and their Elders - past, present, and emerging.

I am male (he/him), and married to the amazing artist @leece .

I have been a #Linux #Sysadmin for most of my professional life, and use Linux or derivatives exclusively at home.

For fun, I play #rpg games, and #boardgame . I also swim as a #mermaid (well, mer-dude), and ride a three-wheeled human-powered vehicle called a Me-Mover. I have a Hobie Outback pedal-powered kayak, which takes me back to my past as a Sea Scout on the Swan. I enjoy playing with #lego, #cooking, #preserving, and many, many other things.

I am #teetotal (and have been all my life) but love making mixed drinks, and have an extensive #zeroproof bar.

I am an amateur #photographer without any particular speciality, but I do particularly like taking shots of #birds (especially #raptors ), and other mer-folk. I also enjoy shooting #pinhole B&W, and play with in-camera #cyanotype (about which I have written extensively on my blog) . To round things out, I take quite a few #solargraph images.

For the past few years, I have been learning Nyoongar (primarily the Marribank Orthography).

Here is a shot of me taken by the amazing @leece on #Wadjemap .

This week, I pass 52 months (currently 1578 days) since my last alcoholic drink. For me, this has been a hugely positive change, which helps my #breakdown recovery and my day-to-day #mentalhealth. I blogged about it last year: https://www.amjcounselling.com/amj-blog/four-years-alcohol-free #sober #teetotal

#introduction you may call me Antelope, I would like to find:

nature: #naturephotography #birdwatching

languages: English + #Esperanto (learning it is one of my resolutions for 2023)

faiths: #UU #UnitarianUniversalism #Quaker #HumanisticJudaism #EngagedBuddhism

special needs: #InclusiveCycling #Tricycle #AdultTricycle #Dyscalculia

I hope to cultivate a calming experience here and meet new people.

I'm not sure how many others around here are #teetotal, but if you are, hi!

For all my comrades and fellow travellers who are

It's official, alcohol is not cool anymore. Here's how a movement that began in 2018 became mainstream — resulting in a sober New Year's Eve ball-drop

https://www.insider.com/timeline-of-the-sober-curious-movement-2022-12

"Younger people just don't drink as much as Boomers did at their age, and the trend of moving away from alcohol has been occurring since the aughts."

As an introduction, I'm a #teetotal former #journalist, occasional #videographer, regular #cyclist, idealistic #Socialist enthusiastic #motorcyclist full-time husband, father and grandfather who spends rather too long wishing and not enough doing.

@le_friwi_56

Well, I'm going to believe in you.

Teetotalling for a year is like hiking around France, so plan your journey with attainable and reasonable intermediate goals.

For example, on New Year's Eve, your first waystation might be "I will drink, water, coffee, and tea only until January 31".

Also feel free to lie through your teeth and tell people "Doctor said I have to stay off the alcohol for my liver's sake."

We will all be eager to read your updates!

I'm already working on my New Years resolutions. Number one on the list is to go teetotal for the year (to the best of my abiility). Sick & tired of my MH being even worse due to the odd tipple. It's a big goal I know, but one I'm determined to achieve. #teetotal

@notfunnyelle Basically alcohol free ... excellent!

The £1.99 daily deal on Audible today is The Naked Mind, which I highly recommend to anyone looking to consider moderation or a life of complete sobriety.
