Today is day 364 of my sobriety. My mom who was a lifelong alcoholic was so proud of me when we talked yesterday. She passed away today. She was in pain and her suffering is over but I wanted to show her how hard I’ve worked this past year. One day at a time. Tomorrow is a big day for me I just wish she could have seen it.

I’m so sorry for your loss 
I bet she held on just long enough to know you were going to Year your year mark for sure, and probably drifted off being very proud of you! Congratulations on a year of sobriety!

This is indeed very bittersweet. I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. It was an incredible gift you gave her before she passed, your sobriety. Thank you for sharing this with the TS community. Very powerful.

All of your support really helped me in the past week. We buried her yesterday. A year and a day into my sobriety. The kind words and cheering on is why I’m here. We all understand the UPS and downs but nobody focuses too hard on the downs. That’s what keeps me going and know that I am here for all of you as well. Thank you all so much again
