Yes, I remember saying to my son shortly after I stopped drinking forever, last year, "I'm sorry I wasn't fully there for you, when drinking" he replied, "Mum, you were a great Mum, I'd rather have you as a drinking Mum, than a bad, not great non-drinking Mum. But all I want for you now, is that you never drink again, and that you become happier and healthier than you are: which will make me happy". Broke my heart at the time.
But with AVRT, his wish has come true.
