Congrats..I had 13 yrs..relapsed Aug 1. I have drank every day for 6 mos. 13 days. Feb 14 was my first day sober.. This is my 8th day. I am going to a daily meeting. I have too much to lose if I donā€™t see this thru. Because you lose relationships; lose your credibility, dignity, so much. I donā€™t want my son living with the fact his mother is a practicing alcoholic. We both deserve more than that. Heā€™s aware I slipped..but not that itā€™s hard. I feel like God wants to do more good in my life. But he wonā€™t if Iā€™m in the bottom of a bottle..I have to be available. Drinking limits my activities, when I go, where I go, anyone visiting me, how I feel, the energy I have to put into my life. It just ruins everything. But I think about drinking and I get all this stuff that isolates me with alcohol.

Hi Kathy! Thank you for reaching out, and being honest. Congratulations on 8 days! Im happy to hear that you decided to get back into recovery and make a change for yourself & son. You are correct, we lose so many things in addiction. If you ever need to talk-Iā€™m here!

If someone told me I had to do this a week at a time Iā€™d go crazy, but when I was told ā€œjust todayā€ that I could wrap my mind around, yeah, I can do it a day a timeā€”and then before we know it the years are piling up and we feel like new people with a beautiful new lease on life.

Saying that I love is stay in the middle of the pack surrounded by solid sober people, I do that and I wonā€™t stray off on my own and lose out.
