How did that happen?!

Tomorrow I will be 210 days sober.

Tonight I had dinner with friends, couple of who were drinking. It's honest to god the best feeling in the world to be with your pals and not for one second have your eyes peeled on their wine glasses wishing you could drink! I never thought I'd enjoy life sober now I can't imagine seeing it drunk.

I feel really emotional tonight because I feel at peace. I was a shell of a person just a short time ago, I thought life was over when really it was just beginning.

Baby due in 3 months and I can't wait. I'm sober and I'm going to be a mum!

For the complete roller coaster sobriety can be. It's so worth it.

Just a thank you for always having somewhere to go in moments of need.

I love it here.
