My children deserve to be raised by their mother, not her addiction. I'd bet my life on those words. I love them more than drinking. My addiction does not run the show anymore. Things can only get better!
That's good...You have over a couple months..I'm one of those alcoholics that couldn't do it on my own...I could a get some months together and always end up back where I left off...Or worse. Left to my own devices...I'm in trouble. Be vigilant with what you are doing....I never knew what cunnimg baffling and powerful meant till I got into AA...Then I understood why I had so many problems quitting on my own. If it's working for you...That's great...Not for me...And judging by the amount of people I see in the rooms of AA... I know I'm not alone. Best of luck to you....Like I said....Remain vigilant.
