DAY 8: Today was Mother's day and I was a Good Mum
I had the best day and one this year I will remember.
Lovely restaurant with my kids.
The waiter came over with a glass of bubbles and I said thanks but no thanks YES!!! Everyone stared at me the look on my teenagers faces was priceless my son smiled my mum shocked and I just held up my glass of elderflower spritzer and said Cheers!
Please God let me keep this strength.

Well done Max - hold that moment in your memory and bring it up whenever you're finding it tough. Last year on Mother's Day my family and I went for a meal - I got to the restaurant early and had sunk 3 cocktails by the time they arrived then didn't have a dry glass through 3 courses, then we hit a bar for some live music and by the time my family left to go home I told them I'd find a friend to crash with and stayed out drinking.
This year, even at only 3 weeks sober it meant having enough money to treat my family to a meal and enjoy their company rather than be an embarrassment to them. It left me feeling so positive, I'm definitely gonna hold onto it!

That sounds very much like my mother's day last year The little I remember.
Heres to sobriety 😊
That's great you turned it around for this year too and Yes I'm feeling positive too it feels great!
Thanks your right I need to hold that whenever I get the urge.
