| Here's an odd, but anonymous, photo of my beautiful sober daughter - in New Mexico taking photos of the buffalo behind her. |
What a journey it has been for her. If my own sobriety hadn't been so "sketchy" I might despair that she will stay sober or ever get a bit more sane. But I know from my own experience that we all have our own journey. They don't all look the same, and the really don't all look good.
I will go to the noon meeting where she is celebrating today. She did decide to avoid all the drama at another group and just go to a place that is more neutral. I am happy.
Happy, happy, happy. If I stay in this day and don't try to predict the future. If I think about it too much I get so terrified I can barely move.
But if I stay in this moment and enjoy the abundant gifts from God, I am peaceful and happy. And so is my little girl.
I love her so very much.

Many congratulations to her. I know how much this means to her and to you. It is a miracle.
What a blessing! I wad secretly hoping she would choose another meeting too :)
Congrats to your daughter and hope you have a great day.
I read both posts...I think as a mom we can't help but get happy when our kids make a good choice for themselves. We love them. My hitch in my giddy-up is when I feel the need to "share my joy" with her. She hates that...and just wants to do her thing with little to no fanfare.
Congratulations to your precious girl. I am so glad she found a wonderful home-group.
God bless your daughter. I will keep her in my prayers.

Wishing you and your family the peace that the world cannot give, nor take away.
Congratulations to your daughter! I pray that my own mom can come to a meeting with me and see me pick up my one year chip in May. :)
I really understand how much this means for both of you. I really understand everything you wrote.
Congratulations to your daughter on three whole years! You have been so supportive and understanding a mother. It always moves me so much to see one of us get our lives back from that hellishness.
congrats to her
Lots to celebrate.
Hey if you do decide to predict the future make it something awesome it more fun that way.
