Penguin! T! Congratulations on your incredible milestone! Well done. The ābehind glassā metaphor resonates here as well.
Congratulations @anon86198612 and @GOKU2019 for your awesome milestones too! Way to go, friends!
Iām so glad I popped in here to see this!!! Huge congrats to you. Iāve always related a lot to what youāve described experiencing and Iām glad to be on this journey with you (not around as much now, either, and also am learning about myself every day, it seems. Itās life!) I respect so much that youāve put the work into finding connection, getting help and opening up. Keep at it!
Congratulations on your 1 year of freedom Penguin
Been missing you on here. But I am so happy for you and your sobriety and how youāve worked out what YOU need to do to stay sober.

Checking inā¦
I just came home from an amazing yoga practice, I was brought to tears during the class by something so simple. My whole life the phrase āPratice makes perfectā was drilled into my head, it was my fucking mantra. The instructor said to us a we were amid a balancing pose, āPractice make progressā. I said it in my head a few times to absorb the power of that simple phrase and what it meant to me. It was as if she had handed me the freedom in that very moment to make mistakes for the rest of my life. The freedom that it will be ok, I will be ok and I will still move forward as long as I keep trying. Thatās not what I was taught, and thatās not how I have approached my life up until now. In recovery we are always saying progress not perfection but I had never absorbed the weight of that phrase. I guess I hadnāt been ready to until today.
Congrats to everyone on your recovery, I am so grateful to be here with you.
Checking in on day 103. Today has been a great day so far. I made shepherds pie for dinner. All i have to do now is pop it in the oven. The kiddos and i made cupcakes and iced them their fav colors. My first sober easter in a very long time, its also the first one without my husband here and it feels overwhelming. I hope everyone has a fantastic easter. See you all tomorrow!!

I did end up going to my AA meeting. It went 90 minutes. A lot of people~ Picked up a Marty Robbins Old School Country Western album. The fear of the day was filled with anxiety, thinking about work. I just donāt know what to doš
No food in the refrigerator and we donāt know what to eat for dinner? Oh wellā¦. Iāll probably call my sister. She is having a hard time. I should check in.

Itās been a rough couple of days. I fell picking up the kids from daycare. The Doc thinks I pulled the ligaments between the Tibia & Fibula . I am in a lot of pain and getting by using good ole Tylenol & Motrin. For the first time ever I didnāt feel judge by a Dr. When I refused pain meds. He told me not to try and tough it out he could give me something. After the 3rd time he asked I told him I was in recovery and he comes right back with how about a high dose Motrin. There was literally no judgement. I wouldāve thought Iād been past the shame and guilt feelings but, even now almost 4 1/2 years sober I felt it even though it was for a small amount of time. I felt a sense of pride after the Dr was so great and feeling like he treated me like normal person.
This Mama is going to rest some more Iāve been placed on strict bed rest and absolutely no standing on my right leg.
Big thanks
@Misokatsu @Dolse71 @Butterflymoonwoman @GOKU2019

Congrats to everyone on recent milestones and congrats to everyone for also making it through another sober day
