โIf you're scared right now, I get it. Two years ago, that was me. The worst part was work drinks and saying no. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does. Sending love.โ
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
โTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place nearly four years ago. For me it was the wine o clock habit. This week I went back to my evening class. You're not on your own.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
