Feeling proud - 9 months

About to give birth to my little baby girl and am feeling all kinds of emotions. Mostly full of gratitude and pride for being able to quit. I tried a few times prior to conceiving, and then she saved my life. And so did this sub. I lurked and searched for “pregnant” posts, and the advice was so caring and non-judgmental. It gave me the push I needed very early into the pregnancy to taper and stop for good.

So just.. yay for sobriety. I really believe this was the blessing from God that I needed to see how freeing NOT being on feel free is.

Also, this is me saying to myself, and asking for support from you all, to never turn back. Especially after the baby is here. I know that I won’t have someone else living inside me to protect, and the depression/anxiety can hit hard. But I can’t throw this second chance away.
