Sooooo my daughter hasn’t wanted a hug from me for a long time (years) and the other day after 19 months of being sober, she gave me a kiss on the cheek at the grocery store!!
she’ll be 25 next week and it makes me so happy to be here for her, she just wanted her mom and now I’m not just here, I’m HERE and it feels good to be HERE for my kids. Prioritizing them which I didn’t realize at the time but I didn’t. I was so wrapped up in my addiction it’s crazy. Sad to realize- hard to know. Anyway That’s all they want is that so much to ask for? ( speaking from there point of view). This is why I did this, it’s a good feeling. And brings tears of joy just writing this. Yay me! Yay you for being here. Progress not perfection.

Yes the promises! It’s taking awhile but I don’t blame them, all we can do is show them we can’t fix the past but we can change the future. Gratefully for second chances.

Awesome post! So happy for you and your daughter. My 23 year old daughter still loves me even tho I caused her so much pain. That love is my incentive to stay sober. Wishing you all the best!
