I can’t believe I’m actually still with you all. Digits just keep getting higher. I have had weekly visits from my wine loving sister and I haven’t been tempted. I don’t drink anymore and thats it. Im actually running so far away from all things alcohol like I’ve never done before. My son’s speech has transformed and he is using sentences now. I do believe it is down to me not spending hours in bed hungover and having more patience with him. I walk with him every Sunday morning at 7:30am instead of fighting nausea and handing him his iPad. Infact he hasn’t used his iPad in 5 weeks. I don’t feel as guilty for being a bad mother, Im starting to see I am trying my best. I talk right into people’s face now, blowing my fresh breath all over them😁 I haven’t gotten the energy burst I was hoping for but I’m never going back to the person I was. My joy so far is waking up healthy, a cup of tea and not afraid of hiding a hangover. In bed by 9pm every night. I couldn’t care less if I’m boring I have lived the other way for over 30 years and lucky to get a second chance. Lots of love to all you people here. Week one people on here I was as bad as it gets and I never want to be that way again. 4 weeks of hell then on week 5 one day without realising the cravings were almost gone. You can’t control some of life but you can change parts of your life if you suffer from this awful drink Illness. Im going to start to live my life now and keep checking in here for support with the bad times. Xxx
What a lovely read!
I’m so excited for you. It sounds like you’re falling in love with this path and it’s rewarding you as you continue to walk down it.
Well done 
and I bet your son loves this version of you. 
Way to go Lady H.
I love reading inspiration like this. And once we are sober for a while it all seems so much easier. Life that is. The chaos kind of just goes away.
I love what I stole from @Chevy55 the other day.
“If I do this right.
I never have to do this again.”
Keep up the great work
Loved reading this! Its amazing the transformation that is happening in ur life! I loved the part about ur son. Im glad ur not feeling that guilt anymore. I think one of the greatest gifts of recovery for me, is being present for my son and not feeling that guilt. What a gift! Ur doing soo well and im sooo proud of u!
Really heartwarming and positive post. I am so happy for you. I don’t have a child to see the progress but I do have a husband (Who acts like a child) and the relationship although slower than I want is so much better than before sobriety. Stay here and connected.
What a fantastic update. Keep going!
