This was the BIGGEST factor in my decision to get clean. My daughters father got arrested in August for none other than selling dope, and I absolutely knew that my precious daughter had to have me sober bc I'm all she's got. Who knows if her Dad will get clean...regardless, she needed me at my best. By the grace of God I have 7 months now. I pray every day that I can keep being strong.
I lost my Aunt to a heroin overdose, Nov. 2014, one month before my daughter was born. She was like my 2nd mom. I lost three friends to overdoses April 2015, bringing the total to 13 of my friends or loved ones that have died from drugs or alcohol related deaths. The madness has to stop! Praying for all the families & the addicts that are still out there. May you wake up to see another day. It's never to late to stop. [emoji26][emoji26][emoji25][emoji24]

I give you a lot of credit for stopping for your daughter! I could never stop..not even for my 2 boys.
Its horrible that so many have died that you know..and at the same time..it strengthens your resolve.
Your friend being a single Mom...I would hope this would make the missing Dad become part of his daughters life...or is he passed from addiction as well?
You sound like you have come very far....keep up the great work....Thank you for posting this reminder of what can happen to me if I want to pick up another drink.
