Wonderful news to hear from you. I believe you made a post about 4 months ago talking about your drinking. I send you love and huge kudos in changing your life. My mother was sober 38+ years when she died in June 2019. She was a very vocal and mighty proponent for friends of Bill W. Helping countless others in their daily walk. We had many, many discussions about it through the years. I remember the day my mom made the phone call as I was 5 days shy of my 16th birthday. Life was not what I thought it would be in those first few years because at 43 my mom had a lot of reconciliation to do with her own shit. She would tell me there were days where she just took things hour by hour or minute by minute not just one day at a time. I am so grateful for the person my mother became and the positive influences over me by osmosis of what she learned through AA. Keep going. It’s a wonderful life that doesn’t require your vision to be clouded by beer goggles! One thing I also remember and tell myself constantly that my mother told me on the regular, “ There are no mistakes in God’s Universe.” I find that to be absolutely true today. Praying for your continued sobriety.
