I just have to say, I love you all so much!

It truly does take a village! And I’m grateful we are in it together. :heart:

@Lisa07, hmmm…that is a great question!

I think my favorite change so far in this moment is probably freedom and acceptance in my life.

Which, is kind of ironic. It’s been a rough week and I have been recovering from a medical procedure that kicked my ass.

But within that, it’s been ok and even good to slow down more. It brought opportunity to have more freedom in my thought. In my emotions. How I choose to look at things and live my life.

I’ve got freedom beyond my circumstances-when I always used to feel like a victim in life over far less stuff. It kept me in a cage before, where I can fly free now regardless of what is going on.

Life doesn’t have to be perfect to still be good.

That is truly a gift of recovery and I am grateful for every single day. :heart:

Oh no,Mandi…I didn’t realize you had to undergo a medical procedure on your 8th soberversary. Sending you lots of love and healing vibes. Hopefully, you’ll celebrate when you’re feeling better.

Belated Congratulations on your 8 years sober that truly is wonderful to see. I don’t take my sobriety for granted and still inspired by people who have trodden the road longer than myself and still warned of the dangers by the people who wander off into no man’s land again. Well done and thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
