My son is my biggest supporter. He tells me drinking is a waste of time, unhealthy and loves that I'm clear headed, active, happy and involved in life

My family, close friends and my sober community! My family tells me they love who I am today, my friends love and can see the growth in me and my sober community tells me I’m worth it🩵

My sponsor. When he tells me what I need to hear and not what I want to hear. For instance
“where is your HP in all this?”
Or “so you want a solution without doing anything to find it?”
And “what’s your part in this? Were not talking about anyone else’s part”

My family. It cannot broken down to one individual and I will explain. My children support my passively. There existence, the time that they make for me and their behavior, and that they both make good grades and responsible decisions. This encourages my sobriety tremendously. My parents are great supporters in that they are forgiving should I relapse they are encouraging in that they encourage me to attend my meetings regularly and this form of support for me is quite helpful. My baby brother supports and encourages me and that he is always available if I need someone to talk to that can relate and the sense that he too is a recovering addict. Although he works grueling hours and a non-air conditioned Warehouse here in North Texas if I asked him to attend a meeting with me and he has gotten off of work, I have yet for him to say no. Now he may say no if I ask him if he's going to go but if I express that I am struggling with relapse and were to state that I was not going because he is not going I honestly don't see him still saying no.
Now don't get me wrong, there are members of my family that I would say are less supportive if supportive at all but to keep it simple in general my immediate family is the answer.

My brother! We are both in recovery he has a little over 9 months. We talk ever day. We support each other. And then there is my Aunt Sandy she has been my rock through all of the ups and downs. She been in the for well over 24 years so she heard it all from me and she doesn’t beat around the bush but is still willing to hear me out!
