Set her past mistakes aside, and this lady has been a great mom to Brandon this entire journey. Her concerns in the beginning were more than valid, she flew all the way out to them to be at the wedding, she offered an olive branch and her genuine heart to Mary, she was chill about munching on frogs, and she got real with Brandon when she saw him being in the wrong against Mary.
Honestly, she’s a real one.
She’s proof that you don’t have to be defined by your past mistakes. So many people stay in the addiction spiral because they hate themselves so much and it helps numb the self loathing. The ones who get out are the ones who can look in the mirror and just try to better everyday for the loved ones they hurt.
yes yes yes. I’m tooting my own horn because I deserve to. coming up on five years sober and waking up every morning ready to prove to everyone I’m not the monster I used to be is a high in of itself. Especially when the haters see it. I’ve found that recovered addicts tend to be strong, disciplined, empathetic people. And it was in there all along but covered up by whatever was clouding the mirror.
Congrats! This is inspiring — currently struggling with recovery rn, but I know I can get to where you are one day
please keep trying. give yourself grace. if you falter and this isn’t the time, this isn’t the last time. you can do it. you deserve it cause you’re worth it.
Thank you. ❤️
This internet stranger is super proud of you!
I’m tooting a horn for you too! Way to go.
Congrats on your half decade coming up! Many more soberversaries to you!
Absolutely so proof of you.
I’m 3 years clean on Dec 11 and have never felt more proud of myself. I will never have another impaired thought in my life and am happy about having real, un-dulled feelings :)
Congrats on your half decade coming up! Many more soberversaries to you!
