I am so happy for my dad! He is 108 days sober!! Every time I think of this, I just want to cry.
Growing up, my dad was the perfect dad. He never missed a game, a recital or a family day. I've been without the dad I grew up with for quite a few years. He started drinking about 10 years ago. I didn't like talking to him and I wouldn't take my kids around him for more than 10 minutes at a time. If my phone rang after 7pm and I saw it was him, I'd let it go to voicemail because I knew he would just get me upset. BUT NOW, but now... it is a pleasure talking to my dad again. I just wanted to share this because I am SO PROUD of him! And, yes, I have told him this. Thank you for listening. Please send your prayers his way that he continues his journey on his path to sobriety.
