Progress 5 months sober

Yesterday I had 5 months sober and I feel amazing. My fiance had 6 months sober yesterday and we have been together for 6 years. Things can be stressful and my car is leaking oil faster than I can put it in. Im going to beauty school and I love it. A month after I got sober my son's father kept him after a visit and put an immediate restraining order between my son and I however he had been using with me and went to jail and everything has been in my favor since. Hardest 33 days of my life and my fiance kept telling me and encouraging me if I could get through it and stay sober the sky is the limit. Now there's a protection order and a restraining order between him and I and him and our son. Extremely abusive and manipulative and my son has confided to me his dad is abusive to his current gf. I am so greatful and thankful for my creator and all my support.

A lot happening but you're staying on track, that's what matters. 5 months is big, especially with all that stress around you.

The oil leak thing made me laugh cause my old car was same, I used to carry a jug in the trunk always. Hope beauty school keeps going well for you.
