Not sure why I’ve kept this photo in my gallery. Glad I did though. It’s a pic of my last alcoholic drink on November 4, 2022. A can of Guinness 😬 I remember taking the photo and saying it would be the last booze I’d drink. And over a year on I’ve stuck to the pledge 🤝 I don’t miss it all, probably why I forgot the one-year anniversary on the 4th. Life has definitely benefited from it, on so many levels. Physical/mental health, less anxiety, better sleep, better life decisions, saving money, no hangovers and the FEAR! The list goes on. And after drinking for 30-odd years it was time for the body to recover 😂 Anyway. Just thought I’d share this. Anyone thinking of quitting the booze, you won’t regret it.

@JP_Biz So sorry for your loss, John.

Fiona Gribben, my wife & best friend, died this morning. The last two years have had too much pain & sadness. But also great moments of love, fulfilment & kindness. We are lost without her.

@stevenrcrawford @BelfastLive @BelLiveSport Sorry to hear that Stevie. All the best in the future mate.

Unfortunately my time at @BelfastLive & @BelLiveSport has come to an end. Thoroughly enjoyed the last three years, thank you to everyone who took the time to speak to me and read my articles...now it's time to look to pastures new...

I remember interviewing a young @lewiscrocker1 before his pro debut way back in 2017. @Stevenward_ introduced Lewis to me as an “up and coming kid” at a press conference held at the Waterfront Hall. Fast forward eight years and the Croc is a world champion. Incredible.

📆 Friday, September 5, 2025 Happy Friday everyone! We've made it through another week. It's not a bad start to the day in Belfast this morning. Have a great one!
