Bad moments don’t make bad moms.

I posted this in the Sober Mom Tribe Facebook Support Group, and I wanted to share it here, too, because it's an important topic.

P.S. If you're not in that group, you should be. Message me for how you can gain access!

When we first get sober, many of us have a lot of guilt and shame regarding our drinking days, especially when it comes to being under the influence around our kids and how drinking can impact us a mother.

I will always believe there's an extra layer of stigma for moms, which makes it harder for us to reach out because there's this perception that we don't care about our kids. Of course, we care. We were doing what we did at the time to survive, but now we know better, so now we choose to do better.

Notice when those thoughts surface and use these affirmations to interrupt the negative self-talk and redirect when that guilt comes creeping in 👇🏻

✨ I forgive myself for all the things I said or did under the influence.

✨ My past mistakes don't define me.

✨ I am a work in progress.

What do you do when the guilt from your drinking days starts to surface? Let us know in the comments!
