Making sure my son has a warm, soft, safe and nurturing place to lay his head at night is my #1 priority. Quitting drinking will only add to that.
Be careful. . .i always thought i was still being a good mom. And for the most part I was. But alcohol did affect my parenting as the kids got older. I am sober now, and doing better. But, without going into personal details, i am suffering for the time being as a result of something that happened more than four months ago.
Get sober. Your child needs you to be.
