Your about the...I just ran the numbers in my head. Your about the same amount sober as I was when we made our big cross country move. I had a wedding to plan and pull off two weeks before the move, too. I will always remember how my father put in a disclaimer insert in the wedding invitation asking that in lieu of gifts, gift cards to major retailers would be appreciated so that we could minimize the amount of packing and damage on the trip (china, dinner ware and such.) Most everyone obliged even though I was anxious that it was a bit tacky of a request but hell, we had absolutely no more room on our moving van and were maxed out on space. We couldn't squeeze another fork or spoon on that truck.<br /><br />Well, guess what? The two gifts that we given to us (porcelain frame and some fancy do dad) didn't make it across country. They were shattered when a box fell on their box and they just didn't make it.<br /><br />And here's the topper. Four weeks into our new location and I found out I was pregnant. Yep. Got knocked up shortly after we crossed the state line. LOL All of this at about nine months sober.<br /><br />You are doing fine, Mrs. D.

But after getting through this kind of painful prickly time, I've been grateful for my ability to be present. Not perfect, not brilliant, just showing up with what I have. I appreciate your honesty. I'm starting back at the beginning myself. All the bestSoberHerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648642327657289147noreply@blogger.com
