What have you done recently that made you proud?

I've taken the step to volunteer with Essex Recovery Foundation & completed their course to enable me to tell my recovery story as one if their Voices of Recovery

When my use of alcohol became a daily habit I looked for support, sadly Hertfordshire had very little to offer local to me in Bishop's Stortford.

So, as usual, I dug deep and went solo to stop.
19 months sober now & time to pass on the inspiration 🙌
Recently I crossed the border to see what I could find in Essex, and here it is....

Next stop, Festival time.

Over 3 days in July Essex Recovery Foundation host a Festival... Dance, Fire pits, DJ's, Poole party, Zip Wire, Axe throwing!! Meditation, sauna...
The only thing not if offer is Alcohol or Drugs

But the fun will be high!

Fancy it? Camping available
Wellbeing & Good Times

Check it out & get involved...

What a week! Feeling proud 🙌

6 weeks ago I enrolled of a Speakers course with Essex Recovery Foundation in Chelmsford

A long way down a different direction from where I was 10yrs ago!
I was a "fun" drinker, working in the drinks industry for the biggest gin distillery in Europe
I loved that job!

I never thought 10yrs later I'd be training to become a volunteer with Voices of Recovery
I'd spent years selling the alcohol that almost killed me

I'm super proud of myself & those I'm meeting along the way

Forever greatful

Can't wait fir my first festival this year.
And no temptation as there's no bar!
Open to everyone
Lots of great stuff to do & experience
Without a hangover! Brilliant 👏 you can drive yourself so no need for a taxi 🤣

Check it out


Big Love everyone ❤️ Sara

100%

This one always stings a little… Because it’s true 🔥

You can spend all your time trying to find the perfect workouts, routines, and supplements.

But if you never deal with the stress, anxiety, heartbreak, or the emotions you've been pushing aside…

You're only taking care of one part of your health.

Your mind and your heart deserve the same attention as your body. ❤️

Oh my gosh, I always loved Supernanny..

Jo Frost, her direct, honest, no bullsh approach
She's right though, isn't she

Distraction & over stimulation
Mostly from screens

No connection, real life, human connection

People need people
Not games, screens and AI

Talking, listening, engaging, feeling
Knowing others understand
Getting support
Feeling the energy
Feeling positivity
Understanding your reward centre & feeding it in a healthy way

Go Jo, keep shouting out
Change needs to happen

Big love ❤️

Had a wonderful day over on Hertford today
Went to Beam Theatre to see Memory ScentsX, their reed diffusers are incredible so I treated myself to 2 new ones, profits go to dementia charities so a cause I love to support too.

Then over the the car show at Hertford Castle

We have such wonderful towns & villages locally with the great events going on.

So get out into our community & make some connections 🎊

Supporting others through connection & community ❤️

Big Love Sara xx

Massive shout out to Sam at Star Inn Bishop's Stortford for her support & kindness today

As im in recovery from Alcohol & sober for 19 months pubs aren't as much fun for me these days but I love the chat & community still

So when I saw the latest offer of a Cherry Bakewell cocktail I felt very left out....
0% drinks aren't my thing

Sam to the rescue, she made me an alternative Cherry Fizz pop drink & gave me some Moam!!!

One very happy Sara 😊 🌟🙋‍♀️

Sober can still be fun
Passionate to break stigmas of addiction & recovery ♥️
Proud of my story
