My beautiful children are happy that they have the mum they used to have, NO way will I screw their lives up because of drink, I have seen it time and time again when childrens lives are destroyed because of this disease, this isn't happening to my babies, I dont care how bad I feel etc I am not giving up, my family means more to me than the demon P*ss, just wished I could have stopped way before, lesson learnt now to apply every tool I have available to me, have a great day everyone

Children need their strong Mum...

These are the wonderful thoughts that remind us to stay the course and not drink..

Same here. My kids are 7 and 11 now. It's time to stop before I pass on bad habits to them! Day 2 now, and I think this time I'm FINALLY done. It feels different somehow. Keep going! <3

I just read "Mommy Doesn't Drink Here Anymore" by Rachael Brownell. It's a memoir focusing on the first year of sobriety while raising 3 small children. It sounds as though you may relate to her story quite a bit!

Oh me too! When I was pregnant and my son was newborn I was completely sober (16 months, I think) and I really liked the person I was then. Like you, this past 8 days I have started to see glimpses of her again - motivated, energetic, good humoured, patient. I have been able to give a lot more of me to my son this week. Keep up the excellent work.

Well Done to you, I used to always say I'd never turn into my mother and ruin my kids lives and the more I said it the more I did........I admire you're strength and love that you're feeling better in yourself it's amazing what being sober can do!!!!

Best Wishes as always, I love reading your posts!!!

I have 3 kids; 4, 7, and 11. They're such a great motivation to keep going

Mum, I can relate to you when you say you're the great mom you used to be, even this early on. I'm pretty sure I've spent more quality time with my kids in the last 3 days than I have all summer. I want to continue to be this for them. Let's keep going!

Thank you Allyson & Jezzi, keep going
