Another day sober!....coffee with dad.

Hi all,
I hope everyone is having a good day! If not, my prayers will go out to you tonight for a better day tomorrow!

I have almost 4 weeks of sobriety under my belt. So proud of how far i have come in just a few weeks.

Having an afternoon coffee with my dad whom passed 8 years ago. My guardian angel. I know he is looking down on me and helping me in this healing process. I can finally think of him and look at his photos and smile, Instead of hiding my grief and other problems with alcohol. I am no longer numb! Although i still have my moments when i look back at the good times we shared and it makes me sad that he is not here anymore. But, i'm getting there!

My mom had one of those mugs made for me years ago. She used pics of my kids when they were very young. She chose the most god-awful pics though.

I'm glad you are now able to see pics of your dad or think about him and smile. It takes a while.

Congrats on your sober time!

Sorry about your pops. I'm sure pops would be proud of his baby girl. Keep it up. It gets so much better. ✌

Haha about the awful pics! My mom has done stuff like that before and i'd say to her, "really mom, out of all the pics you have of me, you have to choose THAT one?" lol!!

And Thank you suki!
