Celebrating 1 year sober and my kids finally trust me again

Dec 7·1 min read

Just want to give glory to God today. One year ago I hit rock bottom and made the decision to get clean. My family didn't believe in me at first obviously but I kept showing up and kept praying and kept trying. My youngest asked me yesterday if I was going to 'the bad place again' and I was able to tell him no. He hugged me. Walking the walk matters guys. It's the hardest thing I've ever done but my kids are looking at me different now and that's everything.

The regaining of trust from your kids has to feel incredible. That's not something money can buy and it's worth every bit of effort you've put in. Keep crushing it.

Keep going brother. You've got this. Those kids are lucky to have a dad who fights for them the way you did.

This is huge man. Seriously proud of you. One year is no joke. The fact that your kids trust you again is the real win here, way bigger than anything else.

This is what real transformation looks like. Props to you for putting in the work not just for yourself but for your family. That's what being a dad is about.
