Congratulations Mandi!!!
Congratulations @MandiH! You’ve been such an inspiration to my journey. Thank you for being here and showing us the way. And your photos are very uplifting and beautiful. Keep them coming.
This is amazing I remember my first meeting at the back of the room can’t remember a lot that was said that night but was so glad I went well done you on your 1000 days
Congratulations @MandiH on your 1000 days of recovery and the promises coming true in your life.
Today dawned much differently than it did 1000 days ago. I was a shell of a human who thought everyone around me would be better off without me. How many mornings had I promised myself I wouldn’t drink that day? And how many had I blacked out by evening, feeling like a failure once more.
What was different that morning? For one, I knew I would die if I didn’t stop. And for the first time, I knew I couldn’t get sober alone - and I was willing to do anything to stop drinking, even if I had to swallow my false pride to do so.
Thanks to all of you and to the many people in my recovery program who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, I live a life I didn’t know was possible. Is it perfect? No. Has sobriety been hard in ways I couldn’t have imagined? Absolutely. Having said that, I am beyond blessed to get to live each day present in each moment. My children do not remember me as a drunk - and that is a priceless gift. I now am able to see the beauty and lessons in life - even if they are difficult. I am no longer eaten up by anger and self-pity. Sometimes, I even feel moments of peace.
I finally believe I am worth a sober life. We all are…every one of us.
Thank you…thank you all…for helping me stay sober, 24 hours at a time.
Much love…
Heck. Yes. @MoCatt! Quadruple digits.
Your honesty through these years has helped me learn better honesty with myself, and your kindness and humor keep it light. Here’s to you, my sober sister.
And yikes, missed yours @MandiH! You are a force for positivity that has done so much for getting my head in the right place. Well done, sunshine!
This makes my heart sing @MoCatt!! I am so very happy you are here and sober and living life in recovery!! And I hope to see you again at the end of the month!! Socially distanced and masked of course. One love dear friend and super huge congratulations on your 1000!!

In that time, you have shown each of us how to show up and be of service, how to be compassionate to others, and how to do the right thing, even when every ounce of our own will power says no. The ripple effect in doing these simple acts things has truly changed so many people’s lives for the better, mine included.
Who knew that asking a Goat for advice on how to help another suffering drunk would have caused Goat to stumble into Chapter 23 of Pass It On at just the exact time that it was needed to forever change Goat’s life?
HP truly plays the lila in his own way.
Peace and much love
