Day 10
I would call today one of my "good" days considering I've made it through the last week and a half. I have been very open with my kids (I have 5 ages 15 - 6) about my alcohol use and now have been getting them involved in my recovery. Their job is to make an X on the calendar for every day without alcohol. They have been very excited to do this and bicker over who's turn it is every day, this can turn into sometimes an hr discussion and many promises that the other one can put the X tomorrow, etc... this keeps me motivated to stay sober as I don't want to wake up and tell them no one gets to add an X today!
