Glad you made it back.

You made time to spend with your daughter. That's great. When I was drinking I saw my mum sporadically, and always with an eye on the time waiting to escape so I could drink. Now I've been sober a while, and the relationship I have with my mum is amazing. I always look forward to seeing her, and can enjoy hours and hours with her with no clock-watching involved (not on my part anyway - hopefully not on hers either haha). This has been one of my greatest unexpected treasures that sobriety has gifted me. Emotionally aware time with my loved ones. Priceless.
