Today I have over 97 days sober and I couldn't

Today I have over 97 days sober and I couldn't be more proud of my self.Ive struggled with alcohol from my first sip at 13 now 44 and a grandmother im ready to straighten myself out. Im so grateful for the relationship I have with my 22 year old daughter. It wasnt always this way.She didn't like me drinking. When she caught me having a drink after her and the baby went to bed she told me the next morning that I couldn't sleep over again until I got help.I was so hurt and cried for days before I decided to detox again for the 3rd time in 3 years.I didn't last more than a week the first few times but I think I really wanted it this time.Now I go spend every other weekend with her and the baby. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.

That’s awesome and the way I get through is playing that tape when you get that urge because obviously being mom and grandma is all that matters you got this third time is your charm🙏

you are just like me only I'm addicted to drugs. I want to be clean and yesterday was day 1 for me. it's going to be hard because I love getting high but I love my husband and my marriage even more. one day at a time I can only concentrate on today. your story inspired me to keep pushing. hang in there your making a difference outside of yourself to others like me.
