Thank you so much for taking time to share with
us about your room and what it looks like until
you move back into your apt.

Would you move into another apt. maybe
to start out fresh with a new beginning?

Maybe moving back into where you were
will be too much reminders.

Anyway.....

I remember when I had my 2 beautiful babies
back in 84 and 87, my son was first then his sister.
Yes, I was in my addiction but didn't think it was
as serious until I entered recovery in 1990.

I worried just like any new mom would be and
couldn't wait till they arrived out with all fingers
and toes and for the wonderful surprise if they
were a boy or girl.

Yes, I was anxious and yes I was blessed to
have 2 beautiful adorable little ones with
instincts of wanting to be the best mom I
could be to them.

I was very protective of my bundles of joy
as should be, maybe too much at times, but
overall, with me as their mom, they had
little experience of me drinking because they
were young when I entered recovery and
have remained sober as they grew and moved
on with their own lives healthy, happy and
so many wonderful gifts blessed upon them.

We never know what God has in store
for any of us, however, when we put our
faith in Him for guidance, strength, love
and care, we never have to waste a minute
of worrying.

We may not get the answers right at
that moment, but in His time, He will
take care of us.

I know, because He has heard my cries
and pleads for help a many a times in my
lifetime and has always lead me to where
I need to be and has provided me the things
needed to live a sober, healthier, happier,
grateful, blessed life I had today.

Keep your faith and more should be
revealed to you in His time.
No need to thank me for sharing. I like sharing it with you. Good worked staying on the right track for your kids. I will stay in the same apartment when I move back and if it doesn't work out I will move. It's hard, I want to keep the apartment because we bought it together and I want to share that home with our son and say " it was mine and your dad's ", while at the same time it feels like time stands still and as if I'm waiting for my AH to come back home, even if I know he never will. Very tough.

I will have to rely on God and hope he will help me out and lead me to a better life. It feels like I've lost hope about everything in life since my AH passed away. All I have left is my faith in God. Thank you for sharing your experiences with God. I hope he will hear me out too.

God bless you and thank you for your post. It was needed 💖
