Just being in the community and being able to chat with people who understand when you’re in a tough spot. It’s such a great outlet when you feel like you need a little peace. We are all here when you need us! ❤

The details are the most important part to me, the part I feel like I’ve been hiding for so long and want to get out in the open to someone. Especially someone who won’t judge and gets it. I feel so lonely being the only one I know who seems to have an actual problem with drinking. I feel like a crazy person… I know it sounds dumb but it’s like now everyone’s looking at me waiting for me to break. I know they aren’t but it feels that way and it makes it so much harder to not have anyone. Here it’s like I’m not alone or lonely. I can come on here whenever to read or talk and it keeps me going one day at a time.

I know exactly what u mean. Although there’s someone else n my fam who shares the same DOC as me, I’m the only one getting clean and sober OUT LOUD so everyone is proud of me but also waiting 4 me 2 fail. I live an hour away from my family too. I’ve also never tried 2 get.clean and failed, so they know I’m serious. But I’ve been doing it alone majority of the time which bothered me a lot at first. Now… I prefer it thay way. Single mom and I’m focused on me and my daughter I do not need a relationship right now. But in proud of u 4 reaching out girl. If u ever need anyone to talk 2 jus hit me up on here I have no clue how to private message on here or anything yet but I do have a TT and a Facebook  
Stay strong pretty girl WE GOT THIS

Yay on 90 days !! I just hit 90 today 😊👍🏻 I also wasn’t sure this was ever possible. But here I am and here you are ! It’s such a great feeling waking up each day not feeling like crap. Wondering if I’ve said or done something stupid. Or worrying about drinking my day away. I love having my energy back. Sleeping better. Better relationships with family. Etc. the list goes on and on. This really is my new drug.  
Way to go on your progress ! And let’s keep going 😊💜

Great job on 90 days of freedom!
