It starts with me

I can’t get sober for my kids, my friends or my family members. I have to do it for me because I’m only in control of me and my actions. I just have to keep reminding myself of this and give myself more praise for doing the best that I can.

I feel this. I’ve tried to get sober multiple times for other people, and it never lasted. I had to find self love in order to make a real change in myself. Keep going!!🩵

…totally, Holly.
Yes.
It is sticking this time around…because I am doing it for myself.

That is part of the reason I am able to remain sober.

I have also filled the time-which was spent drinking with a bunch of positive alternatives, actions in life.

Liz,
Thank you for sharing these words along…and for sharing what you wrote.
