Congratulations!

And that’s a great idea. Buy yourself something you like. A coffee, a good book, a visit to a spot you enjoy or have wanted to see…

well done! :black_heart::clap:

Congrats on 100 days, well done and you should be super proud for sure :clap:

For me, I usually get a meaningful piece of ink done each year just before my sober date. Though I’m thinking I’m going to have to change this up in the next couple of years!! Whatever you do, if anything, each milestone has a powerful impact inwardly and is an absolute blessing on our road in recovery. Enjoy your coffee even more on your milestone day :ok_hand:

Hell yes! Congrats for the 100 days.

For myself not that long ago hitting 100 days.

I went out with the wife and kids. Arcades and dinner. Bought soo much stuff on the menu at a Thai restraunt. Im craving the crispy pork belly now just thinking about it :sweat_smile:.

Congrats on 100 days!!! :purple_heart:

I just hit 100 days last week and I got myself a charm bracelet. Now I can add a charm for important milestones.

Congrats, Gabby! 100 days sober is a fantastic way to live.

Maybe I’m in the minority… but I don’t celebrate. I come here and these amazing people congratulate me but I don’t do anything special. I’ve come to feel just so unbelievably good compared to my old life that every day is a gift and something to celebrate. Sometimes I describe myself as a recovering dopamine addict. Maybe my lack of celebration is part of my recovery.

I do keep track of (roughly) the money saved and occasionally I buy something I would not have been able to before. That makes me smile sometimes.

Hope u have a fantastic day!

Congratulations! :tada: :heart:

On couple occasions I got myself some small hobby items. Now it’s more of getting a good meal if anything.

I love @Marieke’s charm bracelet idea.

I think at a year I’ll probably do something, but I have yet to do anything special per month. I just bring it up to my husband in an excited way and he tells me he’s proud of me :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::sparkles:

Heyyyyyyy
Keep it up my friend

In 100 days or so, you managed to make a admirer of you out of me.

In 100 days or so, give or take, i saw the light in you. No matter what, dont pick up.

I remember this being one of the most poud moments of my sobriety. The first 100 days

Something i make a habbit out of is a celebrative story of my life in sobriety, that has to spicificly do with my milestone

This is a great question. So, I would celebrate a milestone, like 1 year or 18 months on Facebook. My sponsor saw my post. He called me up and advised me to NOT celebrate my sobriety milestones on Facebook. He advised me that I can celebrate with my family, sponsor or during my AA meeting. Going out to dinner with my spouse is how I celebrate now.
