Bravo Heather! On being a sober mom to Lilly! Really glad you’re here with us.

We don’t need to or have to use or drink ever again was what I heard em tell me in the beginning. It’s true, simple and true.

Great job, Mom!

@Lillysmom focus on staying clean and working on yourself Heather. You can and will stay stopped if you make your recovery the first thing in your life, even before your new kiddo. If you aren’t clean you won’t make a good mom for her.

are you going to be going to meetings and working the 12 steps?

Welcome @Lillysmom 👋 Sounds like you know what you want 🙂 Talking Sober is a great place to start! Great people here, and great lists of resources too (this is a favourite of mine: [Resources for our recovery](https://talkingsober.com/t/resources-for-our-recovery/52812))

Welcome to Talking Sober!
