If you make sobriety your first priority every thing will fall into place.

I swear

3. You made it through one of the rough
hurdles- relationships.

Many of us sober up to find we have little in common with the people
we were with while we were drinking.

Sometimes, especially when the other party gets into the program too,
it works out.

You made it- Remind yourself of that often, OK?


:hug:

6. Woot!
I'm glad to hear you are sober. I'm sorry you have had to split, but sometimes we have to leave situations that aren't conducive to recovery.

Hang in there!

:hug:
