I had only been sober for a few days and my son got married which is great but proved to be to difficult for me to not be tempted. I never over drank, still remember everything, and I’m not mad at myself. Giving myself grace and love. He texted me and asked me if I wanted him to bring over the last few bottles of wine and I said no thanks and that makes me feel proud of myself.

That had to be a hard one not having a drink to celebrate your son’s wedding especially in your first days of sobriety. You drank in moderation and then turned down the last bottles of wine. In my opinion, that shows your intent for control over alcohol. Give yourself that grace and mercy. Start over again with intentions to overcome alcohol and kick it to the curb entirely. Wishing you the best and congratulations on your son’s wedding!

Thank you 
As you should be. PROUD of yourself.
Personally, I can't see it as day one again. Day one, sure, a day one like no other. Being able to look back and learn from our mistakes is where the difference is really made. Handling a situation that once may have kept us off track for weeks months or even years, handling it in a day, THAT'S PROGRESS! Be proud and rock on wit ya good self Melodie H!
And congrats on your kids wedding, being present and enjoying the moment.
