Sober win tonight

Today was 9 days sober. A huge motivator to become sober is to be the mom my kids deserve. My daughter was staying the night with my parents so we went to Mexican with my son. The last 5 times or so we’ve been to Mexican I have several margaritas and end up getting wine on the way home and end up blacking out eventually. Tonight I had Diet Coke. After taking off my makeup and getting into bed to read a book my mom called and my daughter was crying to come home. She was going to try and bring her but she also had my nieces. That was just too much. I was able to drive to their house to pick her up and comfort her when she was scared. Right now she’s cuddled next to me and told me how much she loves me. THIS is why I’m giving alcohol up forever. Being able to be there for my daughter when she needed me…no drink ever felt this good. IWNDWYT
