A few months ago, I set myself some goals that included cutting back on alcohol and getting in shape. Fast forward to today and it's been 75 days since I've had a beer. I've lost weight, my mental health feels better than ever, and I am laser focused on my goals.
As a challenge (to myself) I've decided to extend this sobriety to 12 months in an effort to raise some money and awareness around positive mental health, in loving memory of my younger brother Dale who passed away in 2013, from suicide.
As a reasonably big drinker, I also wanted to prove to myself and others that alcohol isn't always the answer, and a detox is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to your mind and body.
Thanks for reading and always remember to check on your friends and family.
