What's your excuse? ��
I was full of a 100 different kinds of fear, including the one you mention. In reality I find out who I am in sobriety - the real me and not the true fraud I had become. I didn't loose myself, I found me.
Driving our kids drunk is but one painful memory I had to deal with. In sobriety I learn to forgive myself and others. I clean up my wreckage, make amends for the harms I've caused and learn how to live life!!!
I am glad you're here with, it's natural to ask why. We all did, but some who've been around a few 24 hours forget that, perhaps.
Keep coming back, and keep posting. I can't wait to hear more about your story and your plan for sobriety, friend@
