TYVM!! I appreciate your kindness! In 2020, my sobriety was tested big time. I had lost my dad 1-1-20 and my oldest son 9-16-20. I even went so far as to buy a beer, but I didn’t drink it, instead I opened it and poured it on the ground. My dad was 20+ years sober when he had a heart attack and due to his living alone, the doctor wanted to put him in a assisted living place and I wouldn’t let him. I moved in and took care of my dad the last 6 years of his life. I felt like I would dishonor him by giving in. I still live in his home, I’ve been blessed to inherited it. I’m hoping that it will be helpful for me and I hope to inspire others :pray:

Wow my deepest condolences to the passing of ur father and oldest son :frowning: I couldnt imagine having to go thru the passing of someone sooo close to u in sobriety. I havent yet experienced the loss of a very close loved one passing away in recovery and the thought of it does scare me abit. My son has a brainstem tumor and it scares me tremendously to think of him passing away. He is doing well right now and his tumor is under control (thanks to the years of chemo he underwent) but he has no prognosis of how long he will live. But like urself, i would want to honor him or another family member by remaining clean and sober. It takes an incredibly strong person to stay true to urself durong hard times. Im proud of u :slight_smile:
