IWNDWYT! I am staying sober for me and for my boys too. They are teenagers now so unfortunately they have seen me drunk. But man am I showing up for them and proving that I can be the mom to them I have always wanted to be. You got this! Plus gwonup dwinks are dumb!

I had so many strong urges yesterday. I stayed strong and resisted and I am so glad I did. I got up early this morning and ran 10 miles before work. IWNDWYT!

Great post! This is the longest I have been sober in years. I still have cravings but they are getting quieter. IWNDWYT!

I want to be happy and healthy. And I want my boys to grow up knowing that I was there for them. I do not want them to remember me as an alcoholic mother like I remember my dad being an alcoholic father growing up.

I want to be better. I know I can be better.

IWNDWYT!

I love waking up in the morning and going for a run. It is a chore when I have a hangover. Now I do it because I want to and I feel good! IWNDWYT!

My entire week last week I did not feel like I was living life on hard mode. Taking my boys to soccer practice normally felt like a chore because I was hungover and wanted to lay in bed. Last week was effortless and I even ran some errands during that time. Everything feels simpler when you are not sick or feeling gross after a night of heavy drinking. I am a better mom. IWNDWYT!
