You Can Make a Difference Starting Today

Window open to flowers and sun going sober alcohol free june

2020 was a year of extraordinary physical, political, and social unrest.

Just for today, skip lunch and have water instead.  Most of us are too sedentary and don’t take enough exercise.

Just for today, think about what your plan for the witching hour.  What AF drinks do you have stocked up?  What new books/Netflix movies or series.  Or pick a friend to call

Just for today, avoid the news. It can wait.

Just for today, create a simple meal from scratch – something you can cook in 20 mins. max.  One pot even!

Just for today, eat very, very slowly with your eyes closed, enjoying every single morsel.

Just for today, lay your head on your partner’s /child’s/pet’s belly and listen to their breathing.

Just for today, give a neck massage

Just for today, help someone who asked for help a while back.  It feels great to help!

Just for day, have slow, and gentle sex, as though it was the first time

Just for today, have a warm glass of milk, or sprinkle lavender oil on your pillow to help you sleep

Just for today, thank your parents for life and thank the world for all the gifts you enjoyed today.

Just for today, stop and realise how amazing life really is when you no longer drink!

Namaste……
