And I’m a recovering alcoholic. 5 months sober. All gone now like I’d never bothered. So here I am, back to square one

Absolutely brilliant OP. My brother is an addict (cocaine) and I'm always floored by the power of addiction. You have done so well and congratulations on your daughter 💛

I've had a shit day but coming on here and reading this has bought a tear to my eye and given me fresh heart. Congratulations on your achievement and your lovely daughter. X

Congratulations OP, crying happy tears for you, wonderful update!

Bwix · 19/11/2021 16:42

What a brilliant update! I read the whole thread and saw the lengths you must have gone to to get sober. Your dd will be very proud of you one day.

Oldhabitsarehardtobreak · 19/11/2021 16:43

What a timely thread to read.
17 months sober and DH just mentioned about having a drink. We’ve just watched a Christmas movie and suddenly I’m getting twitchy about wanting a drink. I can almost taste it.

I won’t, I don’t want to go back there so will read through your thread to keep me on track.

Congratulations on being AF OP.

ABBAsnumberonefan · 19/11/2021 16:43

Congratulations OP! Smile

FangsForTheMemory · 19/11/2021 16:44

Congratulations, lovely happy ending 😊

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 19/11/2021 16:48

Congratulations, OP, a wonderful achievement. Recovery is rarely a linear journey, you’ve learned that. It’s normal to struggle, it’s how you pick yourself up afterwards that really counts. Flowers

Fair play OP. You should be incredibly proud of yourself.

Just had to add another Well Done!

C8H10N4O2 · 19/11/2021 16:55

Congratulations and on your daughter!

But don't just stay sober for your daughter even though she helps with motivation. Do it for yourself knowing that your daughter will be happier for it but you deserve to enjoy watching her grow and enjoying your life just for you.

TokyoSushi · 19/11/2021 16:56

Ah well done OP, this is fab!

HaileyBailey · 19/11/2021 16:56

Well done! That’s so great to hear

TattiePants · 19/11/2021 17:00

What an amazing achievement OP.

ArabellaScott · 19/11/2021 17:23

Oh, what a lovely upate. Smile Congratulations, OP. Flowers
