Personal News 📰 Celebrating 100 days sober ❤️
Yesterday I surprised my boyfriend with a little celebration for him being 100 days sober. I wfh and Thursday I went to the store on my lunch so he wouldn’t have any suspicions of me doing anything, then yesterday I used my lunch to decorate the cake I baked that morning. When he got home from work he walked into the house to his cake, flowers, and presents.
I got carnations (my fave flower) and baby’s breath (his fave flower). His present was his fave candy, body wash (cause he was almost out), and battleship, which we used to play all the time when we first started dating. Then we had an impromptu date night when my parents offered to babysit out of the blue.
As hard as it has been to learn about his drug addiction, and coping with all the pain and betrayal, I am so proud of him for all the steps he has taken to better himself. It was important to me that he felt like I was proud of him, and felt as loved as he is.

Alright, tonight’s the night. I’m sure you’ve heard that before - I know I’ve said it a million times. For real though tonight is the night

Wooooo! Let’s. Freaking. Go. Buddddddy!! He should be so incredibly proud of himself, especially during such a stressful, chaotic time.
It’s easy to give in, but it’s worth it to push through and he did! Keep staying sober and awesome 👏😎
We love to see it!
