While I am new and do not know anyone, I took this as a light hearted post. I’d be raging in the past over a picture taken down (ok still 5% miffed if it happens lol) Keep up the good work in your recovery.

Hey I got it lol

It’s okay that it was taken down. I was keeping the rules in mind and thought i would be okay but somebody felt differently. I’ve become sober with most of the moderators and consider them friends, they’re just doing their job protecting people’s sobriety. I don’t want to jeopardize anyone sobriety because i know how hard i have to fight for mine. It’s nice to meet you.

I feel really good today! I wanted to take a pic bcuz I feel genuinely happy with who I am. I used to focus wayyy to much on my appearance, which came habd in hand to what I used to do while in the darkest times of my addiction. And then when I stopped doing working, I stopped taking care of how I looked honestly (out of spite or anger or disgust or whatever idk). I stopped doing my makeup and styling my hair. Stopped tanning, stopped with all the eyelash extensions, and getting my lips filled, stopped doing my nails, stopped exercising as often, ate awful. I still looked decent as a person but stopped doing these “extra” things. I will never go to extremes anymore for looks. But it has bothered me immensely that I dont like how I look. I’ve gained weight since getting clean and was definitely in a depression about my appearance. Today however, I went on YouTube and tried some new hairstyles and then I have been doing my makeup recently, everyday. I have to learn how to do a natural look. This is my best attempt lol. I feel like I need some color… but my makeup before was very bold and I’m not sure how to do the eyes properly now. But I’ll teach myself. Started working out alitte bit at home too. Just trying to feel better about myself. I feel like this is showing myself self-love also. Just happy today :slight_smile: thanks to God and recovery!

Day 804 without drugs. The other day I posted about being on sober time for two years and it was possibly misunderstood as being my sober birthday that was actually Jan. 17. Thanks for all the support.
Love you all.


Permanent Gratitude list on the wall, it works if you work it.

God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

Very happy… there’s only benefits to sobriety. I keep reminding myself every day.
Thanks Eric, you are certainly a huge support on this group for myself, and probably for a lot of other people too! :pray:t2:

Found one of my favorite shirts this morning. Thought it was lost for good, but it was just stuck behind the dresser drawer.
