Have Been Around for a Few Days..

But the great news is that I have made it a total of 9 day sober...!

I know it doesn't seem like alot... but, this weekend on a date with my husband he looked into my eyes and said, "There is the girl I missed..." and later he said "I am so happy that I am important enough to you to do this. I believe in you..."

And, that my friends is why I am doing this... The fact that the man I love didn't feel important to me when I was drinking... and I was a total B to him at those times...

I got a new outlook I tell ya!

I can *SO* do this...


XO,
Saliena

My husband is a major part in my sobriety. Although I am sober FOR ME, it strengthens my WANT to stay clean when I see the smile on his (and my children's) face!






Congrats on day 9!!!!

That nearly sent happy tears running down my face. What a sweet man.
Remember though, do it for yourself first.

Congrats on 9 days!

Welcome Seliena. Suzette said it also but do it for him and YOURSELF first and foremost.
