Checking in daily to maintain focus #81

Happy Sunday! Quoting myself here. Lol. I just added this to a less active thread but then thought to myself, “hey self, this might resonate with someone else.” And if no that’s fine. It is important for me, even as I approach five years of sobriety in early 2026.

So, I joined 5 years ago. Sobriety date 3/5/21. Moderately active the first 3 years. Read tons. But, I’m just not the fastest phone typist. PC I’m on fire. Anyway….just moderate posting for that reason. But often at least one post a day, and lots of likes. That said…when I wasn’t around I was never mentioned on the You Are Missed thread. Not gonna lie….hurt my feelings. Not being accepted (in my mind), and few friends in my orbit has been a recurring theme in my life. It’s what got me in trouble with drinking as a teen. Today I don’t drink over it but still occasionally wonder “what’s wrong with me?” I have lists and lists of real or perceived rejections. Today I try to accept myself for who I am. And that is working (most days).
