Mom Celeste Yvonne is sending out a message of support to other parents who've found their sobriety challenged by self-isolating during COVID-19.
First it was two weeks of self-isolation. Okay, I've got this. Kids are on spring break anyway. We'll just make the most of it.
Then the news started chattering about longer periods. School out for a month. Small businesses too. And my world -- and everyone else's -- seemingly got a heck of a lot smaller overnight."Wine delivery for the win!" And for the growing population of people like me who have a toxic relationship with alcohol? Those of us who are sober or in recovery or just really struggling with our drinking? This is what I would call --"Oh sh---ttttt."I would tell myself that as long as I'm connected, as long as I work, and as long as I keep showing up, I'm good. I'm sober. I'm strong.In fact, I've been ordered to stay home.
Because once the storm has cleared and the fog has lifted, the sun will shine. And it will be so bright you'll need some stylin' shades.It is worth it. Every f---ing day it is worth it. And if you're considering sobriety or concerned with your toxic relationship with alcohol, may I first say"Welcome, you are not broken. You are in good company," and second, I cannot think of a better time to start new healthy habits than a crisis.
A Dry Quarantine is like Dry January but much more exciting because we are essentially the most non-trendy thing on earth right now. So take a seat, put your feet up and take a deep breath.Share this message. Call them and remind them they are not alone. Not at all.Scratch that ... sober is how we will OVERCOME and kick this pandemic's butt. Stay strong, and keep your shades on standby.This post was republished with permission and was written by Celeste Yvonne.
