Thank you Jasmine, do you think he will come back?

You never know… I always keep hope. Sometimes the members just need some time away. We will always have a space here for him when and if he chooses to return 
I hope he will, I know I will miss him…

It’s sad Sticky left and scary. But he helped you get to 23 days. You keep doing you and will be here to cheer you on.
My best friend passed away in 2019. It’s known him for 14 years of sobriety. And he still parted from me the same way every time. “Stay sober!”. That’s good advice.

I remember him mentioning being worried about being addicted to this app.
I think unplugging from our devices is really important when our mental health is low.
I hope he comes back soon and gets to see your updates when he does!
Like a lighthouse in a storm.

Im thinking about Sticky… he hasn’t just stopped checking in, he deleted his account. I feel that maybe I put too much pressure on him…made him feel like he is ‘being watched’ (I even phrased it like this)… I feel bad about it, maybe it was too much

Each adult is responsible for their own choices. Let’s say you did put pressure on Sticky. His choices included letting you know it was too much, that would have been a little convo to have on PM.
I’m sober a long time and I still can’t make anyone get sober and I can’t make anyone get drunk.
You are doing a fine job staying sober and coming to grips with your causes and conditions, keep doing what you’re doing.

I miss him too and hope he is doing well. I don’t think you pushed too hard or it was the accountability that made him delete his account. I also don’t think you did anything wrong here. You offered support and if it was too much then he would have let you know in some way. He was happy with the connection and appreciated the dual check ins.
He said he needed less screen and app time and this could be an additional addiction that he’s working on. Many here have had to stop for the same reason. Just hope he’s getting support elsewhere.
You are doing a wonderful job in your sobriety journey. Keep putting in the solid efforts my friend. We don’t know what anyone around us is going to do - only able to control our own actions.
Hoping that you have a wonderful day today

@Blanka congrats 
on your sober time, you are doing great!
I liked Stinky too, and he helped me to stay sober a few times, and in return I like to think I helped him. Just as you two did for each other.
Please try not overthinking Sticky leaving the TS. I don’t think it was you at all. He chose to engage with this thread, he did not have too. And he could have just simply stopped and continue using the App. So, I truly don’t think it had anything to with you or thread it at all!
Assume he got what he needed it at this time. He left with some tools and time under his feet! Maybe he will be back someday. We can only hope that he continues to stay sober and lives his best life without alcohol.
You to help each other get through those first few weeks. Which are really ruff to get through ( I know it was for me.
Please stay strong and remember that your sobriety is your own and protect it. Continue to do what it takes to get your head to pillow sober at the end of the day! You are worth it.
There is lots of support here. I’m here in corner too. So please my friend don’t let his departure from the APP weigh too much on your mind or derail you. Let’s all stay sober together today!! @JazzyS, @Dazercat

@SinceIAwoke @JazzyS @Von100 thank you for your kind words and reassurance, it means a lot to me… Sticky helped me so much over the first bumpy weeks, it is different now without him here, I hope to hear from him again one day… but hey… show must go on, 25 days sober, I am slowly changing… rebuilding self-respect, self-confidence, trusting myself more. I thought to myself today that if I can do this then there is a big chance that I can do anything…

in the early days (like the first few months or so) my main goal was to make it through the day sober… this was a huge win for me and once i got a good foundation for myself and gathered my tools I was able to find my new routines and happy daily habits… I could not do this without my support system
we got your back here love – ODAAT!
