My sons response to my 1 month of sobriety

My son is home from college(19 years old) I told him last night, tomorrow will be 1 month. He said Really?!? Then he gave me the biggest hug and said I’m so proud of you Mom. That in itself is worth every second I’ve been sober. It’s a memory I’ll never forget and if/when I feel like I’m going to trip, that memory will be my stronghold. Happy Sober Momma☺️

My daughter keeps on me about going to meetings, my son has said small things here and there.. It feels the best to hear it from them because aside from my own harm my drinking harmed them the most.

Yes. And I never realized how much until I quit drinking. I feel terrible about that now that I see it but I can’t change it. I’m sober now for myself and for them. My daughter is away at college but they’re both my biggest supporters. I don’t ever want to disappoint them again.
