Hey everyone! I saw an imagine on IG about 4 days ago and it said something like instead of making me feel bad/yelling at me for my mistakes, how about you give me guidance/help me make better choices. Again I don’t know what it exactly said but I’d love to find it. It’s something I want to send my Mom who typically just yells at me for all the dumb stuff I do because of alcohol. Instead I wish she would be more understanding and come up with positive ideas and things to say that will not make me feel like crap or guilty or dumb.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. 
Hope you all have an awesome day!

Thank you all so much for sending so many wonderful images. I am very grateful. I’ll absolutely share some of these with my Mom very soon. None of them are the exact one but they are all pretty damn close. Thank you!!!
When I first got sober, it became increasingly important for me to know that people do not have to understand me. I’m not entitled to be understood. I caused people pain when I was drinking and using. I still cause my mother pain when I lash out because I am still learning how to deal with my emotions. But I don’t deserve her forgiveness. I need to stay sober and show her I’m worthy by continuing to show integrity and discipline. If my mother thinks I’m a lazy piece of shit - it’s probably because I’m acting like one.
Brilliant - and so obvious when someone actually articulates it. Thanks for the post!

Do not ever call yourself a lazy piece of shit. The process, this crazy, intense, and sometimes exhausting process of going sober is hard. Really hard. Some days we excel and do everything we need to do and other days we don’t want to do a damn thing towards sobriety. Some days we take it out on others. Some days we don’t mean to but it just happens. It’s your journey, it’s your process and no one should ever tell you what you should or shouldn’t be doing or what is right and wrong. Xoxo beautiful!
