I’m greatful I’ve managed to achieve 2 days. Although not a lot it’s a start.

My beautiful kids.

A partner that has put up with being thrown to hell and back and still continues to support me.

Greatful I’m spending time with my baby before she goes to bed.

All the people that make this possible with the apps, support, words of wisdom.

And I’m greatful I have two interviews tomorrow :folded_hands:

@ooskie Welcome to the community! Great to have you hear with us and working on your journey. Congrats on your third kid… remember to take it one moment at a time and reach out to the community at any time as we need connection to help us get through the hard patches in this journey.

@tailee17 WHOOHOO! 600 days and going strong :muscle: :tada:

@Aqua84 Awesome work on your 2 days - the early days are the hardest so you should be seriously proud of each day sober. You are putting in the hard work and should acknowledge the toughness of it all. Good luck with your interviews tomorrow

:old_man:t4:Grateful for my dad. I went to my parents today and my dad told me to call him beforehand because he might want some McDonald’s. Turns out he already got Dunkin from my brother. My parents were worried because they thought I wanted to eat. But honestly it was no big deal. I told them I didn’t have to make an extra stop and I’d prefer to pick up lunch anyways. Well, before I left, my dad gave me lunch money. :face_holding_back_tears: I went to a food bar and got enough for lunch and dinner. :drooling_face:
