Thanks everyone. Let’s hope the thanks button comes back from its Christmas break soon 🙂
“It must have been really hard to lose a parent so early in sobriety.”
Thanks bogler. We never know when these bad things will happen, so being long-term sober is so very important. Imagine if someone relapsed and was a few weeks into recovery when a family tragedy or similar occurred. Drinking would be almost a certainty. In my case, eight months meant I’d got out of the habit of drinking - but only just. Long-term sobriety (ideally forever) is the biggest weapon we have.
