Taking it ODAAT, I honestly never thought I’d get to these numbers. It’s crazy how the days add up… life keeps going even when it feels like we’re not (and sometimes it feels like groundhog day!). Thank you for your kind words, they mean alot :hibiscus:

I just really want to keep rereading ur post :smiley: haha it sounds kinda creepy but it just really motivates me… I want what u have in recovery. I feel like I’m slowly getting there and I know it won’t always be easy. But I just gotta do what I need to do each day to stay clean and literally take it 24 hours at a time :slight_smile: I don’t recall seeing ur posts too often… have u been on here long? I may have missed them too. But ya whenever u wanna post, plz do! I love reading positive posts about what recovery is like down the road! The miracles and the gratitude and what recovery CAN provide us! It’s a great reminder for me. And I know it’s not always rainbows and roses too lol but ya post as much as u want :slight_smile: I love reading posts on here :slight_smile:

Yeah… creeeeepy!!! Lol only joking!! :laughing:

100% and I think that’s the difference between growing our days, or being stuck in the addiction cycle. Being prepared to truly do everything we can and whatever it takes. Even when we hear a suggestion and think meh that’s not for me… well if you’re running out of options or something isn’t working but you want to keep going, isn’t it worth stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new… esp when it’s helped someone else, what have you got to lose by just giving it a go? Oh and I don’t mean you in particular just people in general. Some of the older members on here, it was their tough love that really got me breaking the cycle… It really is a matter of being prepared to do whatever it takes, sometimes it takes us a while to get that, it did for me.

I’ve been around on the forum since about May 2018, I was a hot mess back then and ended up deleting original username/posts and profile. I tend to come on for a few months then fade away before coming back again. I’ve had trouble moderating my use on here (oh addiction transfer surprise surprise :sweat_smile:) but this forum has truly been instrumental for my recovery.

It makes me happy to hear you appreciate hearing about the positives I share, I worry it comes across as gloating which it most definitely isn’t. I just want to give hope to those really struggling, that it does getting easier and better. Life isn’t perfect but it’s a whole lot damn better and recovery is giving me so many tools I can transfer and use to better other areas of my life xx I’m going to stop now before I get put into the derailment thread - sorry peeps!
