Hi Jay. Congratulations on your 6 months. Talking Sober offers a welcoming community where you can talk about almost anything related to your addiction and recovery. I suggest exploring a few of the threads to get your feet wet. The Checking in Daily to Maintain Focus thread is a popular one. I think you will find this is a valuable part of a support system. Welcome.
Welcome Jay, to the best corner of the internet! And huge congrats on 6 months
In the menu you can search by topic and see all the different threads, find what interests you. I also like the checking in daily thread mentioned above, what are YOU doing for recovery, and Daily Gratitude.
And you can Absolutly get advice, there is a topic for that, and you can start your own subject!
Hi @Jay1107 , welcome! Congratulations on 6 months clean …This place is my main support on my sober journey. I come here everyday. The lights are always on and there’s always someone around to reach out to that knows how hard this journey can be sometimes. Together we are stronger
I wish you well and look forward to seeing you around
Hi there! Welcome, and great job 6 months sober.
This is the link to the daily check in thread where we tell others what we’re up to and how our sober day has been:
This one is for what we’re planning to do each day to stay sober:
And this one is where we post memes, just for fun:
And then you can look around too like everyone else suggested. It’s a great place with wonderful people.
Try the “Checking in Daily” thread. Read what people are saying…post or don’t…but check in daily
You will find others with similar sober days/months/years as you…read what others share…learn…Be well.
Thanks for the shout out on my topic. You honor me…
Thank you for creating it frind. You’ve helped many of us sort out our sober days on there.
