good morning....when i was drinking,i lost the respect of my daughter....and i made a promise to her,that when i return from my vacation,i will not drink anymore.....well,i've been home for two weeks.....my daughter stopped by yesterday,and she sat for a bit and said,"I don't see any wine..."And i said....."i made you a promise,didn't I?" i have been sober for two weeks now...she didn't know....and she was so proud and happy....i needed to hear her tell me she was proud of me...and i am proud of myself..and i am scared too...of getting too cocky...i've quit before,only to crawl back inside a bottle.....but,for today.....i am proud of myself and,more important......so is my daughter......thanks for all the good stuff you're sharing here.....it's helping me daily.....

Yes, yes! Watch that cockiness! I swallowed alot of pride when I took down that first dose of Antabuse. I got cocky and thought I had it all under control. Remember, this is bigger than all of us. Alone we are nothing.

Now, that outa the way, I AM VERY PROUD of YOU too. Awsome. It's very important to keep these types of promises to our kids. I have learned that lesson the hard way. Mine saw me as a weakling. I let them down. They were like, My daddy drinks BEER? That's what bad people do, my daddy isn't bad! But, I was. I am sobering up now and they are my biggest supporters. Keep up the good work! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
