We are so inspired and encouraged by the stories our community shares with each other. Meet another parent who blogs about her son’s experiences (the ups and downs) with addiction. Together, we get smarter and stronger. Thanks for being part of this community, and congrats to your son on 60 days sober!
My son and I were texting each other yesterday and his ended with this:
PS – I got 60 days clean today. xxoo
Sixty days clean. A postscript.
So many emotions swirling around in my mind: joy, pride, tenderness, hope, fear.
We’ve been here before so many times. Two months, Three months. Four months. Each time I think: This is the beginning of forever. The dragon is finally slain.
Only it wasn’t.
So. Sixty days. Not very long when we consider all that is past and all that is to come.
Still, I feel hopeful, thankful, blessed. There’s much to celebrate, regardless of the outcome. Sixty-five days ago I had thought I had lost him forever.
So in that spirit I am celebrating what feels, emotionally, like a huge milestone. Even though rationally, I know this is only the tiniest beginning of what I hope will be a lifelong journey.
