| Graduation Day
My name is Anne I am an alcoholic I have a sobriety date of 11/30/02 I have finished the 12 steps My first born is GRADUATING tonite. It is not a surprise that he is graduating, because he is a normie and does REALLY well in school. What is freaking me out is how emotional this has become. I was as hard as a rock when I walked into sobriety life!! Now I get to experience a whole lot of emotional stuff and that is exciting and terrifying all in itself. Just needed to vent. Hope my experience becomes somebody else's hope! Anne |

WOW what a gift that you are going to present to share that with him. I just spent the morning with my SIL who has her first born graduating tomorrow, she is emotional too. It is a mom thing for sure!!!  Be proud of him, I know you are and be proud of YOU!!! I know I am. Have a great time.

Oh Anne, I am sorry to hear that. Again, a gift that you can be there and present for her. It is hard watching our parents/relatives get older and ill. I will say a prayer for you mom.

How proud I was........And he was humbled. It was huge!!! And mom got decent news...well considering. Seems it is not her scleroderma, but pulmonary hypertension...which is more treatable. Blessing!! Thank you God!! Yeah great day yesterday......... |
