โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Routine saved me. Same time up, same walk, same tea. Go slowly. God willing it gets easier.โ
โA note for the next person. I was where you are eighteen months ago. A sponsor I text. That was my life. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
โTo anyone just starting: I know it feels impossible right now. The mornings are the hardest, but they do get easier. Find someone you can text when you want a drink, even if it's just to say you're struggling. Take it hour by hour if you have to. And don't beat yourself up for the past. Your kids just want you present. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm here.โ
โIf you've just found this place, nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. I remember the bottle bank shame like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ
