It looks like my daughter is in the final stage of her battle with cancer. The prognosis is a couple of weeks. Although I certainly appreciate all the good wishes this post is about sobriety and how I have made it thus far.

Believing God's plan is more vast then my mind can conceive

The time to have a support network established is before you need it

Live a day at a time in all things

Surrender to things out of your control

Have gratitude for the things you do have

It is OK to feel like crap

Reach out and ask for help

Take care of yourself and enjoy the things you can

Super charge your program of recovery

Never isolating

Do all of these things no mater how much you don't want to do them

It is not easy but it is possible

Although this is tragic, your daughter has a sober Father, who can hug and tell her all he needs to say to comfort her during this time. It is a small but critical blessing in all of this.

Staying sober was the thing that kept me sane when nursing a loved one through the same thing earlier this year. To be there when she passed and to be sober and present for it was so important.

I know you can do this too MI - you have to, for your daughter.xx

Oh, MIR, words are simply inadequate. The loss of a child is something no parent should have to endure.

Thank you for having the courage and insight to provide perspective and guidance through your words to us.

You, your daughter, and your family, are in my thoughts and prayers.

Continues prayers for your family. Your words of advise are so true about having a support system before we truly need it.

My best wishes to you and your daughter. I am I awe of your strength and resolve to be sober during this time as well. Your example is one that many can learn from and it's more helpful than you can fathom. Peace.
