Forever reminded of the gift my mother gave to me in her passing. Far left is my last night drinking. Middle photo is 7 months sober. Last is from a week ago, 23 years later. Of course I‘ve made many mistakes in sobriety, and hurt people I deeply loved, but I’m still thankful to not have gone back to the person on the left who heard his mother say from beyond, “You’re done drinking now. You’re all done.”
