Hi Jazz, and hugs, from one drunk to another.
Of course, your kids are going to be okay. You're the one fighting the beast that's slowly eating your soul away, not them.
I share the tear in your avatar, because my kids, although a little younger, probably have had the same sadness in their precious hearts.
We hear the word surrender a lot in the rooms, right?
Even when I was sober for fifteen months, that never sunk in completely.
I'll share something a very good friend of mine here at SoberRecovery emailed me yesterday...
The only thing I can suggest is to turn in your spurs and hang up your
gunbelt.. you looked in the cylinder lately?.. your out of ammo.
You truly want it? Then the fight stops
today.
And you offer your gratitude for the breath in your lungs, in exchange for whatever it is that will give you the first sober 24.
I, and countless others will do that today. Join in, Jazz.
It's easier together.
