I'm feeling positive
Tomorrow is 3 weeks for me. Eating better, losing weight, taking better care of myself...
I just hate realizing that most of the bad mistakes in my life
( and there have been some real winners)
have been fueled by and made under the influence of alcohol
The anguish I feel is horrible and I wish it would go away but it's my constant reminder of how I put my addiction first. I feel like the worst mother ever.
I feel like I don't even remember them growing up! I was always looking for the next opportunity to drink.
I have made the conscious decision to stop drinking and yes, it's a struggle but nothing the the weight of my guilt that I carry every day

Excellent. Welcome. Are you in a program?

Ugh I know exactly what you’re saying! Today was my 3 weeks & I feel the same way about the opportunities I missed or the memories I’ll never get back because of alcohol. But I can’t look back & now we’re setting a good example for our kids. Use this to keep fueling your sobriety. It’s ok Momma.

You go girl!!!!!
You and I are on the same time line!
