90 days - and pie

Milestones

90 days, y’all.

I woke up this morning at 6:08am to my two year old son saying enthusiastically, “Mama, it’s day! Time to get up!”

Yes- it’s day. It’s a beautiful, blue sky, bird singing Carolina day - and I’m 90 days sober. I have so much to be thankful for:. My children (who will hopefully never know me as a drunk), my friends, my AA community, and - so importantly - this forum. You all met me when I was a broken puddle of mess and cared about me anyway. You have been there with encouragement in my weakest moments and to celebrate every success. I am so humbled and so grateful.

So today? I’m packing those boys up for a short hike and a picnic on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My coconut cream pie awaits us.

I’m going to share this, just because I can and it"s one of my favorites. Somehow seems appropriate. With so much love and many thanks…

Why wasn’t that an option on Evil Apples?

You are a rockstar Mom, @Mocatt! It takes an amazing person to be able to raise children in this crazy world, plus be successful at it!

Congratulations! I am so jealous about your day trip. I love the Blue Ridge Parkway. I will not let my husband drive though. He scares me-my anxiety can’t take it. Hug those boys!

Congrats on the 90! Here’s to another 1.

Let us love you til you love yourself is one of my favorite AA slogans. Applies here as well.

Congrats on the 90 days! Your voice of reason and clarity always make me laugh!

I wish that I had taken this journey when my kids were as young as yours. Your kiddos are lucky to have such an amazing sober mom. :heart:

I will count them as twins. Close enough. People frequently as if Collin, Truman and Elliott are triplets. They’re 25 months apart.
