What doesn’t kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humour

Are you having a sober Christmas this year? #SoberChristmas

Try to stay in the moment, enjoy your time with friends and family, and be hopeful about the journey ahead of you in recovery ❤️ #SoberChristmas

Sober doesn’t mean missing out—it means truly experiencing the magic of Christmas. Cheers to a joyful, alcohol-free holiday #SoberChristmas

Let this Christmas be a time of renewal and joy as you celebrate your sobriety and the beauty of the present moment. #SoberChristmas

Sobriety makes it easier to keep a level head during what can be a stressful time of year. There are many factors why people binge drink over Christmas, and stress is a big one. Yet, alcohol can make stress and anxiety feel much worse #SoberChristmas

If it's not yours, don't take it. If it's not right, don't do it. If it's not true, don't say it. If you don't know, be quiet.

Normalise waking up on a Sunday without a hangover

We need to create a society where problematic drug use is treated as a health, not a criminal matter, reducing stigma and discrimination and enabling the person to recover and contribute positively to society

Sending love to everyone who’s trying to heal from things they don’t discuss ❤️

Many newly sober people endure gatherings and parties because they feel they have to. When you’re at an event, check how it is making you feel and if you feel like leaving, do so #SoberChristmas

Everyone is into mental health awareness until it involves dealing with the actual difficult symptoms and behaviours caused by severe mental illness

it’s OK if your version of self-care doesn’t look Instagram-perfect

Addiction should be seen as a chronic health condition requiring long-term treatment in a similar way to diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis

No one sets out wanting to be addicted. It’s teeny-tiny steps and teeny-tiny risks, and the links are so small that you don’t see where they’re headed. And those steps are hard to quantify because they’re different for different people

My biggest fear about becoming a zombie is all the walking

If you're not sure what self-care works for you, ask yourself these three questions: What can I do within my power that will make me feel better? What helps me recharge when I'm feeling drained? Are my needs right now emotional, physical or practical?

I found myself thinking this myself. The challenge is that I felt i was void of a personality unless I was drunk, I felt my new personality was sobriety. Fortunately, with time, I began to discover I wasn't just a state, but could contribute so much more. Well... I hope so anyway.

Just because you’re sober it doesn’t mean you have to make it your personality

'Being poor is cool' is the most messed up stereotype ever. Wasn't cool when I got kicked off housing benefit and was crying into my leather jacket, sat on my motorbike, smoking a cigarette in black and white
