Such a beautiful share, Kristen. Thank you! I hold a special place in my heart for sober parents. I longed for that as a kid.

This brings tears to my eyes, Dana. I am so thankful that I can give this to my kids and stepkids. Honestly I owe so much of it to this day and age, accessibility to meetings and resources and Zoom and the desire to de-stigmatize this thing.

Not that I’m a perfect parent, but I am at least always honest and that is a gift of sobriety ♥️🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your story Kristen. I felt so much of this in my gut, my deepest body memories. Feeling so helpless and not understanding why I could want to never drink again but also not stop. What a marvelous mamma and strong woman you have gifted to the world!!

I am grateful every single day for you and your sobriety. So proud of you and the impact that you’re having - not only with our kids (which is massive), the impact on my life, but now with the community that you’re growing. Every day of this journey is exciting with you! - Your biggest fan

Your support and encouragement makes it all possible. Let our public, gross-out love-fest and support of one another (that I would have rolled my eyes at maybe even just three years ago) carry on! 😘 love you, always.

They say in the rooms to stick around and you'll hear your story. I haven't been on Substack for a few days, I jumped on and your article came up and in so many ways it could be my story. I celebrated 2 years on the 31st and I too owe all good things in my life to being sober. Thank you for sharing.
