Pain
My kids saw me snap. It was never the kind of parent I wanted to be. When me and their mother split I vowed I wasn’t going to touch the stuff again. I just want to be a good dad. I can’t when I’m drunk.

I was given the gift of desperation by the grace of my higher power. I was dying out there and my disease had me thoroughly beaten. I had enough pain. I'm sober today because of the 12 steps, I stay sober in my service and giving back what I've worked for with my higher power's helpful hand. I have a sufficient spiritual substitute that alcohol and drugs could never fill.

Could have lost everything. Fine line between fun and felony, and I had a big eraser. I didn’t like myself anymore. Pain. I wasn’t in control of myself alcohol was.
I am sober so that i am never to be found in a fitting room passed out again

I chose to stop drinking after I was given a choice. Either I stop using and drinking or were(my kids) and ( my Grandbabies) were never gonna be a part of there lives anymore. You choose Mom!! You made your bed now you lye in it.. so I decided to turn my life around I started working a 12 step program, got a sponsor, support group, everything that was suggested I did. Here I am almost 4 yrs in April. Yeah I wouldn’t change it for the world I love who I am today loving kind compassionate and I love life. I’m happy and free . Clean n sober by the Grace of God.

One of my current thoughts too! However I know it can be so fun without it , healthy, free, fun but I always go back😏
It’s evil…. I went back as well. It was like an abusive relationship. Finally I had to say goodbye forever.

Yes ! I need to finally do the same, it’s so hard🙏🏿
For myself this time. It’s my turn. I want to go and do things I have never dreamed I could do. I want to be a present mother and grandmother. I want what I deserve. I want to laugh, play and work some. I will acquire peace of mind, and love.
