Thanks for your support and thoughts Mike, @CATMANCAM @ALC227 and @Seb
Super grateful to be sober and present.
Perhaps not so super grateful to be a non smoker but one day that mindset will change I’m sure :joy:
Treating mental illness is such an uphill battle hey Seb, esp with teens or young adults, professional supports availability and accessibilty leave alot to be desired :confused:

Awe Bec,
My heart is aching, I know that feeling so well of just wanting your child to feel ok. My daughters mental health is always on the forefront of my mind, I watch her struggle so much and its awful. I wish I had the secret answer…

You’re an amazing mom and you’re doing the beast for all the kids by taking such good care of yourself.

Big hugs.

Congratulations on all your milestones, lots of hard work and determination to reach your goals. :clap:

I have been hooked to the news, and think the emotions of sadness, fear and anger are intense. What a world we live in.

Have a safe, and strong 24 hours all :yellow_heart::blue_heart:

Checking in on day 2 after thousands of starts and stops. I have not lost the desire to quit for good and live a healthier life. I am here with all of you committing to my sobriety for the next 24 hours. Reading ‘Quit like a Woman’ and it is strikIng a chord. I’m not going to give up. :purple_heart:

Day 60… It’s coming up to a year when I surrendered and did whatever I could to STAY sober, I did online na meetings, I found a sponsor from a meeting with a list of sponsors and I got in contact with about 5, most messaged back to day ‘you need to choose your sponsor carefully’,one called me back when I was still feeling desperate to say she’d be my temporary sponsor for two weeks, I relapsed in that 2 weeks,scared she wouldn’t sponsor me anymore,well she sponsored me harder,I started the steps with her and stayed clean for 260 days, I picked up over Christmas and started again,still with my sponsor, still doing the steps, still Sober…the difference now to 20 years of trying to stay clean (which I have not longer than a few weeks) is I have a sponsor whose there for me, I have na meetings to hear powerful shares, I am doing the steps to help me understand LIFE! not forgetting the connection that’s growing to the higher powerful invisible thread that guides us in out daily journeys.
We do recover :rainbow::green_heart::rainbow:

  1. Coffee. The sun is back. And so is having to work a late shift. Well alright. I’m alive. I slept close to 8 hours. There’s peace in my town and my country. I do what I can to live a better life, and try to help some others in the process too. Sober and clean. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you can all. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love.


@Becsta Sorry Becca. Must be the hardest thing. Hugs.
@Peace Glad to see you Jen. One day at a time as for all of us. x
@Hopeful777 I can’t watch too much or I’d go mad but I get my dose of it.

Day 162

Today was a good day despite the nightmares affecting my sleep. I was originally writing an extensive post but it needs editing for triggers.
Checking in late but better than never.
Another day is in the books.

I’m so sorry to read this and sorry it happened to you. I will keep my thoughts on what your family put you through to myself as it would turn the air blue. Power to you, keep going sweetie. :heart:

Hi Jen, Holly Whitaker started an online sobriety forum with zoom meetings called The Tempest. I didn’t join that one, but I’ve heard great things about their meetings online and community forum. It may be helpful if you resonate with her book. Glad to see you back.
