BabyJane | 07-23-2013 03:09 PM | It is suddenly hitting me.... .... That in a month or so I will be a mother. I'm so excited and also really scared. I hope I can do this sober. I'm going to have a really full plate as far as baby, fiancée, employee, student and sober member of AA. I was never good at balancing my schedule. I try to do it all perfectly and get easily overwhelmed when I find that I simply can't achieve the level of perfection I strive for in a realistic manner. I am trying to stay positive. Can't wait to meet my precious son. I know I will love him and do whatever it takes to do right by him. He deserves a sober mom... My prayers are mostly for him. I just don't want to be like my parents were in terms of drinking and drugs constantly around the house and running our lives. It can be done. I guess I will just keep doing my best and try to accept my limits. Thank you everyone for being there for me during this pregnancy. It was hard too. I'm almost there. |
