Im making it 😇

Good morning fellow sober peeps! Just here thinking wow 850 days sober today. Remembering i use to be sober only 3 day’s or 3 days of recovering from massive hangover once that was gone, i was out again drinking partying… just to do it all over again. I started drinking heavy when i was 23 until i was 34! I started my recovery journey in 2021. I had 2 bad relapes but i manage to pull myself out. During my addiction i lost so much. The one thing that hurts the most is i see i lost a chance to be a mother to my 3 kids. Which now are 18, 20 and 23. I see they only see what i was in my past. I may have traumatized them and neglected their childhood. My mother was the one who supported and raised them while i just ran around and drank. Its hard for me to accept this… but im still sober today, and still moving forward. I am now 40 years old my journey doesnt end here… :innocent::muscle:
