Falling in love with being sober.
 
Just thought I'd share this. yesterday was day 32 sober for me. It was wonderful. The first day since I have stopped drinking that I felt ok inside. Everything, for no real reason, was a joy. I was noticing the beautiful details in my life again. I spent the day mostly looking after my baby boy Max, who I am everyday falling more and more deeply in love with. I know not every day will be like this and I will have tough days, but my word being sober is so much better. I will never drink again ! If anyone reading this is struggling in very early recovery, it's happening for me and it will happen for you too. Steve.

That's amazing encouraging. How lovely to think that your son Max could enjoy a supportive and loving relationship with a father who is free from the obsession to drink and the negative consequences that alcohol brings.

Thanks for the wonderful post :)

I'm new to sobriety and still struggling to come to terms with it, but posts like this give me so much inspiration and make me realise why I need to keep going.

Your son is lucky to have you as his dad.
