Hi everyone my name is Shawn and im a addict my sobriety date is June 12 2025 that make me 109 days sober for that I am truly greatful that god has a plan for me. I have been going through ups and downs for some time now. I really want to leave the program but if I do im going to die. I have been going through alot in this structure program and thats what I need at this point. I have been getting discouraged and distracted by everything and everyone. This is my 3rd time doing a program never completed not one I am 17 days away from completing IOP. I think that very huge for me. I’m not the type of guy that is made to sit still but this time I jave sit down shut my mouth and did what needed to be done. Growing is a part of recovery witch i have been doing major soul searching. I am finally feeling like I belong here. I know from experience I always tend to run just dont until the miracle happens as long as you continue to work the step and connect with a higher power he will show you anything is possible 
if I can do it anybody can thank for letting me share
Hi Shawn, welcome to TS! 109 days is amazing, congratulations! I’m so glad you’ve found something that works for you.
If you’re looking for a place to start (I just joined the forum a few days ago myself and know it can be a little overwhelming to begin with), I’d recommend the daily check in and gratitude threads. It’s an amazing community here. I look forward to seeing you around!
Welcome Shawn.
Congratulations on the 109 ODAATs.
One thing sobriety has taught me is, I got to focus on the good in my life. On all the good around me. That’s why gratitude is my strongest tool. There’s so much to be grateful for when I’m sober. I got nothing if I’m drinking. Except for problems.
Come join us over here if you’re willing. Trigger warning 
gratitude can be addictive!
I’m happy you found us. Maybe I’ll see ya around.
