That got me choked up. Wow! I'm an alcoholic and so was my mother. Whenever I read stories of parents coming through and really connecting with and being there sober for their kids, it just gets me right in the feels. I wanted that so badly as a child.

I feel proud of you and happy for you both. Please keep going!
Thank you!
