I am now at 250+ days of sobriety having had to experience many more regrets between those 5 months ending and embracing sobriety again 9 months ago. You will NOT regret being sober for your bachelorette and wedding I promise you 💜

What a wonderful thing that you will remember all of this and be a dignified bride. Now keep it up and be the most sublime thing of all: the mother who's children have never seen her drunk. Do it for all of us miserable sods who embarrassed, neglected and horrified our own kids. Ugh. God bless you lady!
