A Huge New Stress
A Huge New Stress
Today is my 16th day sober after many many failed attempts at sobriety. 16 days ago when I was fed up with myself I finally said enough and decided to get sober for MYSELF. No one else. So yesterday my wife let's me know we're expecting our first child. Timing was actually pretty good but still shocking. After hearing the news I was in an almost haze feeling pretty much out of it for a few minutes. Of course now I'm anxious, nervous, excited and a whole bunch of other emotions all at the same time. Being newly sober one of my first thoughts was to drink in order to celebrate and out of feeling anxious too I guess. But, I maintained my sobriety last night and felt good about it this morning. Now knowing I'm going to be a dad and realizing I really do have to be sober not just for myself but for my family I'm feeling a lot of stress. Before if I messed up it was only my life and I could deal with that just fine. Now it's a totally different story. I'm very happy but I just hope I can keep it together for the rest of my life... One day at a time.
Congratulations! The timing of your sobriety couldn't have been better.
I really wish I would have been sober for the first five years of my daughters life.
I am just grateful that I am sober now.
Hang in there and keep with it!

Try not to leap ahead too much ...every new father is anxious I think, but you'll rise to the task.
It's great you've already decided to be sober - awesome timing
