Wow , 225 days sober . In the first week of getting sober i never thought I would get this far .my life has done a complete 360 in that time ,but I only got there one day at a time . In the beginning I was a wreck , id quit my job and started engaging with the alcohol services and I had to be supervised with my boys, i was with my husband . Now I am working again with dementia patients three nights a week , I am a drug and alcohol recovery coach helping others and facilitate a recovery group of my own called survival skills . My marriage is over with alot of relief and I have my boys with me , so im a full time working mom. I’ve just started a new relationship with an amazing guy who is also a recovery coach and has two years sobriety 
. Im also organising a charity walk to raise money for the recovery services in the area walking 102 miles over 5 days .
Life is amazing , sobriety is worth it , I’m 8 months sober now. Remember you only get there one day at a time

I’m an addiction recovery coach as well, I love our profession! Some of the best people I’ve met have been recovery coaches, starting when I was in rehab

I also forgot to mention , social care have down graded my boys from a child protection plan to a child in need plan 
, very minimal visits and meetings with them now . Who would have thought that at the beginning of my recovery I had to be supervised 24/7 for three months with my boys to now being a single working mum who has my children living with me and not their dad . Anything is achievable if you apply yourself
