Good day!

Hello, I am so thankful to report that today is my 8th day of sobriety. This is my first check in to this website but all is well today. Recovery has and is a struggle for me but I am working slowly through the steps this time to ensure that I have a true understanding. I am on step 2. I must beleive that a power greater than me can restore and keep me sane even when I am further along in my recovery and "for me" begin to fool myself into thinking that I am doing this on my own.

Thank you all for your support. It means the world to me. Sobriety is such a precious gift that I intend to hold on to one day at a time.

Ive isolated myself so much during my years of drinking I am still trying to determine what I enjoy doing. I've pushed old friends away and now making new friends is frightening.

I look forward to regaining self esteem, liking myself, building new friendships and finding other interests outside of drinking.

I look forward to being of service in all aspects of my life and being the best mother I am capable of being.

Today I did not take that first drink! Praise God!!!!
