Just read your posts- I am so proud of you for telling your mom. From experience, telling parents is the most difficult part of the process, but a very, very necessary element. They'll take it hard, be upset that their child had to go through this, but their love usually does reign over all. Best of luck <3

to clarify, my mom knows EVERYTHING about my drug addiction. she knows i used needles, she knows what i did to get money, she knows how i lived, about my past self-harm, everything-i have not held back at all. 

thething is i went to her for help in the beginning of june. (that was no picnic having to tell her all that.) but it took me til july to actually get my recovery act together. that’s all i have been hiding from her, my ‘clean time’. that’s why i’m hoping this small detail will be no big deal. i’m sober, but instead of her thinking i’m 8 months, i’m 7 months.

but your right, it necessary to be 100% honest about everything.. i have only been 99%, but i know she loves me and probably won’t even care. it’s only a big thing in my own mind. in reality, who cares.. i’m sober and happy.
