On Saturday, I celebrated 365 days without booze. How would I cope, surrounded by thousands of well-lubricated strangers?
I gave up drinking a year ago and, for me, there seemed like no better place to spend my sober anniversary than Glastonbury. I last came in 2011. I think the main difference this time will be that I actually remember the festival.
After going sober, I promised myself I wouldn’t change the things that I enjoy – and one of those is music. Alcohol hurt my life and my mind for a long time and I was determined that, after I gave it up, it wouldn’t take all the things I love with it.
