hopeful start of new me

Hey everyone this is my first day of being sober, I have been drinking pretty regular since 03, I finally today decided to do what I know is time. I don't want my kids to see me like this no more. I hit a tree in 04, lucky to be here and not dead or in jail, and not to have killed someone also. I am here, I also know this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's time. Please, pray for me and throw some faith my way. thanks

welcome Cassis to SR

The best thing l ever did for my kids was to stop drinking and every day l struggled to stay sober was nothing compared to what l had put my daughters through

Though no-one can go back and make a new start,
anyone can start from now and make a new ending.

Hey Cassie,

Welcome to SR! It's been one month since I chose to be sober and there is nothing like waking in the morning and looking your kids in the eyes and not feel guilty or ashamed about what happened the night before.

The people on this site are fantastic. Read, read, read the posts and write too.

We are all on the same team. You're making a great decision to quit!

Mary
