It’s been a while Julia, but it’s great to have you back! Welcome to your sobriety and welcome back here! We’re in this together
Welcome back Julia! Glad u decided to download the app again. Sounds like ur really ready for some change. Proud of u!
Welcome back Julia.
It’s good to see you again.
I got so much to be grateful for when I’m sober. Especially my granddaughter at 14 months. And my grandson at 8 months. It sounds like you got a lot to be grateful for with that beautiful son of yours.
3 years and 8 + months later and I’m still over on that gratitude thread every morning to start my day. Still my strongest tool in recovery.
Lights are always on. I’ll save you a chair.
@Dazercat i remember you man! thank you so much oh wow!! thank you thank you thank you i am SO GLAD i redownloaded this app. this place is incredible. thanks for sharing your gratitude too.
today i am grateful for committing myself to sobriety. i am grateful for the excitement I feel knowing I am stepping into the best chapter of my life. i am grateful for this community, for my sweet son napping peacefully, for the late summer rains falling on the forest and river outside. life is so beautiful.
I don’t want to bombard you with too much shit but………

You sound motivated and like you have been thinking about sobriety for a while now. Keep coming back here and maybe try a few meetings, online or in person.
Welcome back!

OH I love this and am so grateful for your Pledge to yourself. You do have the strength to live a addiction free life! You will reap so much from living a AF life and your son will know only the sober you!
The time is now to take control of your life and stop letting this addiction take any more from you. You deserve to be happy and healthy.
We are unable to do this alone. Grateful to have you back here with us. I do hope you are able to find some real life support as well - Meetings/ therapy / sponsor?
Keep showing up for yourself Julia - Its ODAAT and we got your back!
Welcome to day 1 George- its a hard road but you can overcome the addiction! Keep actively showing up for yourself in whatever ways you can - do not let yourself sit with the urges. Fight for your addiction free life. Stay strong
Thanks JazzyS. It’s incredible how our mind works. Even knowing how awful a hangover could be, we’re still going.
So true my friend - I am grateful for this community and the threads as being active here reminds me why i never want to go back to the addict lifestyle.
Wishing you the best on your journey! The addiction is never worth it.
