Brent..another blessing that you deserve. You are a good man, fighting an addiction.People want to help you with that. Isn't it wonderful!
Laura, that was an honest way to explain the situation to your daughter. Peer pressure exists at all ages and stages of our lives.
For me., I had to stay confident in my decision to live my life sober and healthy. There are too many negative emotions and consequences when I drink for me to cave into
that voice saying...sure you can drink, its been awhile and won't hurt anyone or anything.
Everytime I drank, I did hurt someone, myself. I wasn't following the decision I had made to live sober. I wasn't being honest with myself when I relapsed. That is the addiction talking me into allowing it back into my head, and my life.
Today I am grateful that I am not drinking.
