TODAY I AM SOBER NOT CLOSED UP IN MY ROOM WITH THAT DAMM 24OZ BUD LIGHT BEER CAN IN MY HAND. I WAS IN THE KITCHEN MAKING A CUP OF COFFEE. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND SON CAME INTO THE ROOM AND SHARED WITH ME A LITTLE STORY THAT HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE STARTED TO LAUGH.

THIS WAS A FIRST TIME IN A LONG I ACTUALLY HEARD LAUGHING. NOW I LAUGHING WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR HOME IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. MY TEENAGE SON AND YOUNG DAUGHTER CAME UP PLACED THEIR ARMS AROUND ME (:l), THEN TOLD ME THEY LOVE ME. THIS TIME IT WAS DIFFERENT.

WE USE TO BE VERY CLOSE, BUT SINCE MY DRINKING GOT SO OUT OF CONTROL THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE AROUND ME WHO COULD BLAME THEM.

I JUST CAN?T EXPLAIN HOW IT FELT TO GET THAT HUG THEN BEING TOLD THEY LOVED ME. HEARING LAUGHTER IN THE HOUSE WAS A GOOD MOMENT.

Hi LM,
Being sober really really makes relationships better. It takes time to repair, but it happens.
