I was real happy to hear her say that and it feels good to be worth it. I’ve been working hard I missed a lot but there is so much to look forward to. My future with my kids and myself is the main reason.

I think so also and the support from my healthcare team makes me smile I feel like they are proud of me. I have always been honest with my Drs so it feels good to share my recovery with them.

That is great news. I am not sure how old your kids are, but I have experienced that kids tend to be extremely forgiving. My point is, I expected my kids would forgive me, I was surprised at how quickly it came. I am not certain that they have completely, nor does it matter that they do. I feel loved, respected, even desired to be with, which for a pair of teenagers is a miracle in itself, much less given how I have hurt them.

Yes addiction hurts everyone we’re lucky to still have the people we have. Me being sober makes a difference in my kid’s future and it’s so important. I know there happy even if it takes some time for them to warm up we are in the right direction.
