Sitting with my morning coffee and finished my devotional reflecting on the weekend. My body hurts but it’s from God things. Worked on my son’s house this weekend and took my grandson to a swimming lesson. All great things that i would have never done if i had been drinking. Being here and present for my family and them wanting me around is a blessing beyond words.

I love this so much. Reading this honestly gives me hope.
I’m in recovery on too, and posts like this remind me why I’m fighting for my sobriety. “My body hurts but it’s from God things” really hit me. That kind of tired is so different from the exhaustion and regret that comes with drinking.
Being present. Being wanted. Being trusted with moments like swimming lessons and helping your son. That’s priceless. Those are the memories alcohol would have stolen.
Thank you for sharing this. It reminds me that the small, faithful choices we make every day are building a life we actually get to lived and . One day at a time🙏

Thanks Raphael, New great thing! I will babysit my grandson alone next weekend. That would have been unheard of a year ago.
