2 Weeks Sober.

 


2 weeks since I’ve had a drink ❤️ and 2 weeks of learning new ways to deal with tough days.

I’m an autism momma. My oldest has non-verbal autism and to say that hasn’t done an impact on my mental health is a wish..

It has changed me… in ways I didn’t even realize. The past week has been tough. She is getting physical and aggressive and it has done a number to my soul and body.

Today was particularly rough- and old me would have drank the pain away- but today, honesty won 🙏🏻 I said I needed time to breathe, purchased a paint kit and other supplies, and painted my first Fall painting. I’m no Picasso, but the therapy was all this Momma needed. I have not felt so calm, focused, and present.

I am so thankful for new tools to cope with. And I am so thankful for learning how to be honest. We think we are so strong keeping everything inside- not spilling our pain and hurt onto someone else, until we have a breakdown- and realize this was never our burden to carry alone anyways. 🙏🏻 Honesty is key.

I am so grateful today for 14 days sober ❤️
