130 sounds crazy high, that’s incredible! It’s very nice to meet you. I’d love to stay in touch, that would help me a ton. Thanks @Ccn31

Hi Lisa. Today is going okay. I’ve been preparing to travel for a couple of weeks, so today is all about packing and cleaning. Still, triggers seem to be everywhere. I’m excited for my trip though. I’ll be in the caribbean and then at disneyworld.
I’ve also heard that the opposite of addiction is connection. I’ve always struggled to connect with people honestly and one reason I’ve gone so long without getting truly sober is my home life is pretty isolating. It feels weird to force myself to stay active here, but good too. Have you been on here long? How are you today?

I could use an accountability buddy. I’m on day 2 myself. And I’m coming on day 3 which is the hardest day an is when I usually cave, due to stress and work.

Thank you Mira 
Wishing you a good trip Madeline. Happy sober and clean holidays to you. For me this place has been so important in the sense of connecting. Used to be so damned avoiding towards meeting new people in real life, for me it was (is) much easier here. If that goes for you to, keep coming back! Hugs.

Your trip sounds amazing! I’m excited for you. If you get any pretty pics of a sunrise or sunset, don’t forget to share with us. If you get any urges, we’re here for you. That’s the beauty of this forum, we’re always with you, no matter where you go. 
I’ve been on the forum since 2019. It’s been extremely helpful for my sobriety, so now I give back as a moderator. There’s a team of us volunteering behind the scenes to keep this place running smoothly. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Hey Mno. Its so hard for me to make connections with people too honestly. I’m not avoidant exactly, just very anxious. I wish I’d found this app a long time ago. It’s not so scary here compared to lots of social arenas. Thank you so much for the well wishes. I hope you’re doing well and feeling content.

Hi @Lisa07! Good afternoon. I’ll absolutely catch some sunrises or sunsets over the ocean to share. I’m definitely worried about urges during and after the trip- I’m sure that’s a post that will show up from me before too long 
I’ve got a weekend alone on the other end too. I’m still optimistic about getting through it; just, also worried. Does that make sense?
Since 2019- that’s amazing! I’m so happy that this site has done so much for you, and i think it’s very cool that you’ve chosen to give back in that way. Do you enjoy being a moderator? I’ve noticed that everyone seems pretty cordial and on-track compared to similar types of sites I’ve been on. You’ve all clearly done well at fostering a positive culture here. Thank you for that.
I hope you’re having a nice day today
