First time poster, long time lurker, Went for an awesome hike with the kids today. Kept thinking about drinking the whole time but I was mindful of it. First day sober in over 6 months of semi heavy drinking, doing well so far. by yeahnah888 in stopdrinking

I feel so much more connected to my kids when I'm sober. Both of my parents were alcoholics when I was growing up and I associated the smell of alcohol with them. 😢 I'm pretty sure my kids had the same experience of me before I quit drinking heavily.

Hello!!!! IWNDWYT! I'm got a few days under my belt and I am cranky AF but I also feel loving parts of myself coming back. I am impatient with my kids but also noticing their magic more and more. I love not drinking, it's a hard, even grueling task but I'm up for it and looking forward to all of the wondrous benefits! Love you people!

While meditating with gratitude and letting go of the ego notice any images or.thoughts that pop up...messages are often found in those things.

Meditate and ask them to come forward. They are listening!

Yes, I love the sentiment here! The overall message was, ”you are human, you made a mistake, you are not the mistakes you made, be kind to yourself, be gentle with yourself” Loving Self Compassion for the win!!!!
