I know we are a week past the 4th of July but I wanted to share some feelings that holiday always brings around in hopes that it might help some of you. I used to DREAD the 4th of July. I know, I know, the birthday of our great nation...how could I dread it? Before you stone me, let me tell you why. Even before Chris made any attempts to quit drinking, I knew that the 4th was a day I had to SURVIVE - it gave license to Chris to drink as much as he wanted AND play with literal fire. Not a great combination. Wherever we were celebrating, I just always remember feeling full of trepidation & just wishing it would be over with, everyone home safe and sound in bed. Then, during the years of him "cutting back" or "quitting drinking" but struggling to cut back or quit, I remember feeling like it was MY JOB to monitor him and "protect him" from alcohol. This was before I understood that I had no control or power over the situation and that it HAD to be HIS CHOICE to quit, not mine. ‍♀️ Then we had the first actual sober period. I went into major full protection mode there because I did not want him to relapse by being exposed to alcohol. And that seemed a legitimate possibility based on all of the years leading up to this. I didn't care if he went fishing with the boys instead of going to friends' houses for bar-b-q because then there was no worry of alcohol. It was also awkward for the people that KNEW that he had struggled with drinking and recently quit and I think it made Chris McColl feel even MORE AWKWARD to know they felt awkward. Does that make sense? Then we entered the "sober/ not actually sober" period where he was still professing to be sober to me but things were certainly not adding up (see pic as it was during this time. Once again, the 4th (or any summertime events or parties for that matter) was like a giant MAGNIFYING glass because if there was ever a time to "party," this was definitely it. Pretty sure I went back to my detective ways during this time. And... pretty sure Chris isolated himself because he was actually drinking and couldn't risk anyone finding out his secret. I can remember leaving a neighbor's party to go (see below )

Meet Sarah. @sarahisstayingsober. Posted on 6/19: • “900 days of sobriety and recovery as of today ✨ • In the last 900 days, I’ve been handled loss, acceptance, grief in so many ways, new jobs, old friends, new friends, an ENGAGEMENT(!!!), health issues, lifestyle changes - all trying at times but all worthy of being seen with clear eyes. • I did it all without my friend, Jameson. ‍♀️ • I did use prayer, communication, shoulders to cry on, Ben and Jerry’s to cry INTO, @pikefish’s ear when something just drove me up the wall. @holliealambert when I needed to just vent, @introvertly_sunshine when I needed to process, @kristintothemax when I needed to share a secret, @nikkilmac33 when my world was falling apart, Jesse when I needed some love, and @lambertmom when I needed help saying goodbye... ultimately I got addicted to CONNECTION. To talking to my friends, to my people, to the earth with live on. • Today I got to watch our boy graduate into kindergarten and god knows I wouldn’t have been there today had I not had my “wake the fuck up call” (phrase courtesy of my favorite electric pixie) - and I am just heavy hearted and light hearted at the same time today. Strange. Beautiful. Mine. This mess is mine. Thank you for being part of the roadside pickup on this journey. xoxo” • So proud of her!!

Instead of feeling bad for myself, I decided to get out of bed, do my hair and makeup, and get out into the world. I made a mistake, but I am not defined by my mistakes. I am worthy and there is nothing wrong me. ⭐️ . . . . #addiction #bruised #recovery #soberaf #sobergirl #backatone #odat #dontlookback #clearskiesahead #purpose #keeponkeepingon #alcoholism #alcoholismrecovery #mua #beauty #glam #eyebrows #brunette #mommabear

Addiction vs. sobriety . What I held then: liquid courage, disappointment, grief, fake friendships, constant anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, and more. I faced every negative emotion during my relationship with alcohol. . What I hold now: hope, clarity, positivity, meaningful relationships, understanding, gratefulness, wonder, and so much more. Sobriety has shown me everything I had ever dreamed of. I was under the impression that my life was over... that was until I said goodbye to alcohol. . The difference in these pictures have nothing on the differences my mind & body have gone through in sobriety. All positive. Which side would you choose? . #sober #sobriety #alcoholsucks #sobermom #soberchick #sobergirl #soberwoman #recovery #addiction #addiction #thenvsnow #momandson #odaat #alcoholismrecovery #alcoholism

Can someone give me a “HELLS YEAH” for this MF miracle that is my life!?! . I am so grateful to be in this place. For staring down my devil of an addiction and fighting it head on! . I. Will. Not. Back. Down. . & to all of my beautiful followers, I see you. I see all of the hard work you’re putting in & I’m so proud of you. We’re in this together! . #sober #sobertime #sobriety #sobrietytime #addiction #beatingaddiction #alcoholism #alcoholismrecovery #wedorecover #3weekssober #strongertogether #soberfam #sobercrew #soberrevolution #odaat #sinceiquitdrinking #soberclock #soberapp

Reason # 1,350,468 I ❤️ soberity: a new love for genuine fun & human interaction. . Before I got sober, I would have never tagged along with my friends and our kiddos to a trampoline park, unless they served alcohol of course! Or, I would have stuffed a few mini bottles in my purse to enjoy in the restroom. . I probably wouldn’t have gone at all though, because I wouldn’t want to worry about driving. If someone else offered to drive then I’d make sure I got really toasted because I had no worries except for fueling my addiction. . In sobriety I’ve learned to take the time to find the joy and fun in life that I hadn’t know before. To feel confident in myself and the thought that I can have an amazing life without alcohol. . I am living proof . #sober #soberfun #alcoholfree #alcoholism #alcoholismrecovery #sobergirl #highonlife #newbeginnings #newme #clearskies #recovery #wedorecover #soberissexy #sobermama #breakthechains #trampoline #jump #freedom #noworries #soberisbetter #sobriety #alcoholic
