      Sobriety is the way of life i so agree, loved reading your post this morning.. i to feel love inside and out, at one time not long ago i didn't think i could feel this way ever again and actually say i love me as well and smile while saying it, what a feeling of relief and i no longer feel like i am carring the world on my shoulders and i am also having a better relationship with my children all because i am letting go and letting "God" of my understanding into my life and my childrens lives its not perfect by any means i still get in the way sometimes "BUT" i am learning faster to get out of the way... many blessing to you and your children and a safe and happy start of a great summer.. many ((((hugs))))
