@Danny thank you very much. And I’ve already gotten so much from this community. The thought that I was the only one left pretty much immediately. I was looking at the sky tonight thinking about how lucky I am that I found this because without it … I most likely would not have made it this far. But I’ve learned new ways of thinking, reacting, breathing… Even moving. I feel so blessed to be here and not feel shy but the exact opposite. Meeting people and talking. Asking questions. Reading other people’s stories. It let’s me know we are brave smart caring loving and strong. But more importantly it let’s me know that I can do this even if at times it is a second or minute at a time.

Congrats. I’m glad you found happiness. I wish all the people I know that are still struggling with addiction could feel how I feel now for just a few minutes. They would never want to look back. The same as myself there is no looking back it is only moving forward for me

Today has been a day of rest for me. Back to work tomorrow but I’m carrying such a new and tender mindset. A more loving empathetic caring understanding attitude. I am grateful every single morning that I found my way here. I feel like everyday I learn something new, feel something new, and grow just a little bit more. I’m blessed beyond what I ever would have dreamed. And I’m so thankful

Sober living is rough sometimes i try to stay positive and joy but someone always in a bad mood and have no common courtesy specially wen they have authority in house feel like their demanding instead of asking when were all supposed to be equal right?

Wow that one hit close to home. But I’m still trying to stay positive and learn new ways to cope with things. People drink around me and I used that as one of my biggest excuses to drink for a very long time. But I’m looking at it now like my problem isn’t there problem and who am I to make it theirs. I have to take responsibility for just myself, just for today

Yeah its not always sunshine and rainbows, we learn how to make it through the rain and the pain. Just because someone else is in a negative mood doesn’t mean it has to bring you down, try getting out for a short walk de-escalate situation, stay strong stay positive, keep moving forward!
