Since I got sober I:
Got a divorce
Transitioned my two beautiful little girls into a new family structure
Got a job
Got laid off
Got that job back
Moved to a tiny apartment with nothing
Relied on family and friends to turn nothing into something
Slept on a couch/bed/air mattress in someone else’s home during 2 weeks of homelessness
Felt amazing love from amazing friends
Grown in my relationship with my best friend
Found two more besties whom I love and adore
Moved into an amazing new place
Bought real adult furniture that I love
Decorated just the way I like it
Attended a billion AA meetings
Cried at a lot of AA meetings
Cried a lot on my couch
Laughed so hard I cried A LOT
Made very bad choices with men
Learned to love being single
Went on a lot of mediocre dates
Survived difficult trips to visit family without drinking
Borrowed more money from family than I care to think about
Thanked God for amazing family who will do that for me
Hosted a stellar baby shower with the help of a friend
Hosted many informal gatherings on my awesome couch with people I love
Baked cupcakes and cookies
Sang karaoke
Smiled
Hugged
Loved
