I’m scared that this may sound like a pity party but I am kind of hoping I’m not alone. 4 days sober, and I’m feeling a lot of emotion. I’m currently isolated in my room (feeling very emotional) while my husband hangs out with the kids, and I’m going through photos on my phone crying. I love to do things with my kids and husband, and make great memories, but as I’m going through I know each amazing smile I see of my family is me taking the photo either with a drink in my hand behind the camera, or off to the side so I’m in the photo too. My kids can overwhelm me sometimes with noises, so I used to have wine on rough days at work, so I “could exist” around them and hang out with them without being a jerk or isolating myself. I’m afraid now that I won’t be able to provide them the “great times” they had while being sober.. has anyone else felt that way?
