Yesterday I quietly celebrated three years of sobriety.
It was the most significant anniversary so far, as I didn't feel any panic about the idea of going out in public and facing others' alcohol consumption.
It felt amazing.
Oops, pics are a bit wobbly, but I'm not! YAY!!!!
We've got a big night lined up tomorrow at the Garter Belts and Gasoline Festival and I'm so excited!
What a week it's been so far!
Enjoy a nice strong cuppa on me:))

Happy Soberversary! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sobriety!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. Kinda minds me of a flapper.
Congratulations my dear :)
ReplyDeleteIt does get a helluva lot easier as the years slip by.
Now I wouldn't dream of getting smashed out of my box and when I see others in that state I cringe; mainly cause they remind me of what I used to be like.
Gawd knows I used to get into some dreadful states.
I am such a contented & confident teetotaller now and I don't think I'll ever go back on the sauce.
I sometimes ponder why I waited so long to kick the habit in the first place...it's so NICE to wake up without hangovers!
I raise my glass of non-alcoholic cider to you my lovely Desiree...CHEERS my dear! :)
Oh Desiree! Good job girly! That's so wonderful and you look amazingly happy! Tons of love to you my friend! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteCongratulations My lovely. That jumpsuit looks tremendous on you. X
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Awesome milestone, and am so happy for you! Sending virtual hugs, too!
ReplyDeleteYou seriously are rocking both that green and that jumpsuit.
Congrats Desiree!
ReplyDeleteYour lookin good in that green jumpsuit.
Wowee! Congrats, darling. It is a MASSIVE effort to turn your life around, and I speak from personal experience. I have bipolar disorder and have only been living as a highly-functioning human being the the past six years. before that - living nightmare. So I applaud and appreciate all the hard work that you've put in to get to this point. You should be so very proud of yourself. One day, we will get wild and have a cup of tea together (I can't drink at all, either). xxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this milestone! I've long suspected that you're a woman of style AND strength, and this is just further evidence.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous Green jumpsuit! Looking forward to seeing what you get up to with Celia at the weekend. Have fun! Xx
ReplyDeleteWow congratulations!! That is a fantastic milestone to reach! Something to be very proud of. I think its great that you're comfortable enough to be out in public & enjoy yourself. I wish I could hug you to celebrate but instead I'm sending lots of happy love your way & I'll have a cup of tea with you in spirit xx

ReplyDeleteWell done you! I raise my cup of tea to your courage and determination. Have a great night out celebrating. You look smashing in that jumpsuit!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! You must do the watusi in that lovely jumpsuit to mark the occasion. I like my tea straight up, sometimes with a sugared rim, mmm, followed by lemon. It's the BEST. Truly, well done!!!

Yay to every day without.
ReplyDeleteElderflower cordials all round - cheers and very well done xx
You radiate vitality and love of life, Desiree, so your 3 year anniversary is clearly cause to celebrate. Working out what makes us happy and healthy in life is one thing (and not always an easy one at that) but actually DOING something about it is a much bigger deal.
ReplyDeleteSo well done to you, my dearest, keep on keepoing on cos you're amazing!
And looking HOT in that jumpsuit too!
Enjoy the festival, looking forward to seeing some pics. xxxxx
I'm about to pour a cup in your honor right now! Congratulations on your big three! Three's a charm, and so are you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you fabulous and inspiring woman. You are a poster girl for sobriety, you may have knocked the booze on the head but I just know you'd be a riot on a night out without any need for the hard stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou look bloody hot stuff in that jumpsuit and amazing headband. I can't wait to hear about your exploits with our darling Kitty! xxx
Love your jumpsuit! and of course the gorgeous headband! Hurrah for being booze free you superstar! xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing.

I love the color of this outfit, beautiful ...
ReplyDeletecongrats on your 3-years!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! Wish we could celebrate together in a f2f meeting -oh well, this will do just fine :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Desiree! I love that jumpsuit on you, it is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm raising a cuppa to you too (coffee, just ground). My dad has been teetotal, one day at a time, for 20 something years. Both you and he are proof that self-confidence as well as sociable fun needs only the spirits that are in-built, not the pour-able, bottled ones.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! ♥
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an accomplishment to be celebrated - a very happy "birthday" to you! You are such a positive, engaging and creative person, I am happy you were able to overcome what has unfortunately become a socially acceptable addiction.
ReplyDeleteThis jumpsuit is perfect for you! Such a great green color!)))
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you, beautiful soul!
ReplyDeleteYou look positively divine in this lush jumpsuit. What a hot number! Then again, you're always sizzlin' hot! XO
You are intoxicating enough- don't need anything more bubbly than your gorgeous personality!
ReplyDeleteCongrats corazon!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you.
What better way to celebrate wearing 80's gorgeous green jumsuit.
eyeing all your goodies in your dressing room.
Gold Melissa shoes envy.
