Thank you so much for your response. I needed to hear that! Most importantly, one day at a time. Thank you for the feedback, and yes I need to know my daughters are blessed. I need to work on not being so hard on myself.
Thank you for being honest. I truly appreciate it! I am grateful that their dad stepped up and could be there when I couldn’t be. I guess I am a little resentful. I liked what you said “dreams do come true” that will happen if I continue to stay clean and sober.

Amen. Let Go and Let God. Simple yet so hard for me to do sometimes.

Yes, it is certainly easier said than done however. Go to meetings every possibility you have. That constant reminder is important. I would be at meetings 5 to 7 days a week if it weren't for the pain involved in sitting for me. I do spend every day in meditation however, reflection and the rest. Personally I have lost enough that every day is a reminder in and of itself. I assure you, this is not what you want to wait for before getting serious about sobriety.

I sent you a friends request so I can send a message.
Yes me too!
Here is the thing, unless you were a mother in a past life that you recall with flawless recollection, it is your first go-round at being a mom. IDC if you have 8 kids... it is your first go. You WILL make mistakes. One of the biggest problems we have as addicts is in forgiving ourselves.
Juzt a suggestion but perhaps try and spend less time trying to be a superhero and more time learning to forgive yourself and I personally think your motherhood skills will be better as a result.
C I know with my kids they tend to take after me quite a bit. As the stronger personality in the relationship I guess it was only natural that that would be the case. So with this in mind, I think now it is a great time, though even a little bit late in the game but nonetheless a great time to start developing the skills to overcome some of these challenges. After all we want to give them the advice we wish we would have taken ourselves.
Since I don't recall anybody telling me that boozing and needles would lead to a success story, I have to start thinking well, why did I not take the good advice that was presented me?
I have become blatantly honest in most regards and that tends to shy people away as well, which is just as well as I tend to need my Lord and Savior more than a second or third butthole for lack of better words.

I need to realize I’m human and will make mistakes, and that’s okay. You’re completely correct I have a very hard time forgiving myself and letting go of the past. I need to forgive myself and let it go like you said

Yes, beating ourselves up is such a disservice. Sometimes I consider the cost of the cross and that by not forgiving myself, I am minimizing the sacrifice made at the cross. Maybe this helps maybe not, I cannot expect you to share my beliefs, but if this does help, it is a pretty powerful and profound motivator to forgive.
