Motivation not to drink today

Each day I look for a reason not to drink. Today was a text from my fifteen-year-old son. We are having family visit us early December. In his text he said, " I hope you don't drink when they come." It took me back to my own childhood and my mother's drinking and how I used to beg her not to drink. It makes me feel very sad that I have instilled that same feeling in my son for him to even mention something like that. How sad.

You'll feel all the much better when you don't drink. Head up!

meetings

Do exactly that! Show him he can trust your word and enjoy a great visit together. We can't change the past , but we can the future.
