Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!!

Congrats to our Milestoners!

How wonderful that you were there for your daughter and how very wonderful that she contacted you, Delilah. With so many changes and challenges facing your daughter in HS, it is fantastic that you have such a good relationship.

When my daughter was young, we told her that if she felt uncomfortable in a situation, she could call us upset that she had left her curling iron plugged in and we could be the bad guys and freak out and come and get her!!!!!

My laziness turned into a trip to pick up my daughter. She was away with a friend through tomorrow, but due to a few things wanted to come home, so four hours round trip later we were home. I told her she can call me anytime to come get her, and always blame me. She will be starting HS in August, and I want her to feel that she can call no matter the situation, or the time.

A few positives:
-First, she texted me about how she was feeling, allowing me to call the parent and share we had a family event tomorrow I needed to pick her up for.
-I arrived at the hotel before she was back from the event and had some time to sit and read by the pool.
-I had two hours of uninterrupted time to talk to my 13 year old.
-If this were a few years ago and she wanted to come home late on a Saturday afternoon I probably would have already had a glass or two of wine, and would not have been able to drive.

I have had lots of great reminders this past week about the advantages/benefits of sobriety. Maybe it is me trying to build up a bank of positives in case that summer AV several of you have mentioned tries to rear its ugly head.

Not going to work, I am a few days away from a year and a half, and I plan on that number continuing to grow each day.

Have a great night all.

❤️Delilah
