Yesterday, I spent time "reminiscing" with my old self, reading my posts etc., and I realized how far I have come. It's a good thing, I think, to not forget about those old habits. And getting angry with ourselves for our past behaviour is part of the healing process. We did some pretty crappy things to ourselves and to others just so that we could drink. We are not that person anymore! It's a good thing!
OMD, it sounds like you had a wonderful time with your kids, and also found new meaning to your new sobriety.
I am hoping that my young adult kids will see the change, and that I become their inspiration to live a productive life. I can do my small part in trying to stop this addictive behaviour from going down another generation. The time for change is now!
And with that, I am going to get cracking on my work this morning while the littlest one is still asleep. Have a great day, I'll be checking back later, as always!
