After a rough night...Light
So I had a very rough night last night. I posted that I was having the worst anxiety about not drinking, but I stayed sober. And I woke up this morning on my daughter’s birthday with NO hangover and had a full day of fun with her! I baked her a princess cake, decorated the house with birthday banners and enjoyed a day of being fully engaged watching her open presents and have the best day.
We even took her to see a movie in the movie theater (it was her first time at the movie theater). I found myself on the verge of tears all day every time I looked at her. I actually felt proud of the mom I was today and look forward to more days like this in the future.....it was a good day. 9 days sober. 🙏🏼

That is wonderful to hear, so proud of you for staying strong yesterday.
What an amazing reward to be present and the best version of yourself for your kids birthday ( or any day for that matter eh?)
This is what it’s all about for me, found your post inspiring and can feel the joy from you coming through your post.
Absolutely magic!

Jek,
Great day indeed. Very very happy for you.
The obsessive thoughts...for me...quelled down...and changed from drinking to everything else.
It is crazy, but I seem to search for mentally anguishing issues. The only way to not do it for me now is to keep busy busy.
Thanks.

This made me so happy! What a blessing!
I've noticed that when I make it through really hard day's they are oftentimes followed by a relief day -where the emotional load is lighter and I feel so much better - so glad for you!

I am very happy for you, Jek. 9 days sober is awesome and the day fully present with your daughter is such a blessing. Wishing you many more days like that with strength and peace in your sobriety.

Outstanding, she knew... children know more about us than we'll accept. It's the small victories that turn the tide. Stay present and life continues to get better little by little, you will see *thank you for the reminder, sometimes still forget myself
