I love seeing it too, and more than that I love seeing my family time value increase and enjoy getting EVERY day in a week rather than losing them to hangovers etc

Yep! I agree my only regret is I wish I did it when my kids were younger. But I can’t change that. Thankfully I’m blessed to have a super close relationship with them both.

Well you are doing it now and there are plenty of adventures ahead I am sure! You seem like you enjoy the nature, get out and live it with them!

Dragonflygirl82 · August 13, 2020, 2:41am

Once sobriety sticks, work to keep it stuck. The benefits of doing so are too numerous to list.

Yoda-Stevie · August 13, 2020, 12:22pm

those are the best kinds of days. All the work culminating in these legacy building moments.

Emilie, you will love it. Just relax and enjoy yourself. Foam pad to sleep on is nice, and possibly a chair, if space allows. It’s nice sitting on the floor but…my old bones!

Yoda-Stevie · August 13, 2020, 12:37pm

same here. Life was getting in the way of my drinking.

Dragonflygirl82 · August 13, 2020, 12:44pm

This is why I take all the selfies… the pic on the left was right before I decided enough was enough. I was so deep into my addiction. I didn’t even remember taking that photo. I’m so glad I hit that bottom. Getting sober was the best thing I’ve done for myself. Period.
