Savor these moments, and they will feed you for a lifetime.
Myself and my partner, I’m 13 mths sober and my partner is 25mths sober rocking sobriety 70s style. This was at the reopening of a recovery cafe that we raised money for from a 102 miles walk
You two look groovy!
Was an amazing day, my partner is a chef at the recovery cafe we both done shares at the opening was so nervous
How you doing chef? So so pleased that your partner is still in his whites
Annalyn and I seem to be singing together a lot recently…
Sorry for my absence. I’ve had a rough time dealing with some personal things but this is the first time I actually feel like I’m making some headway on my mental health. Before I would start my sobriety journey and I felt strong at first and thought I could do it on my own but because I never dealt with the root causes of my drinking and eating disorder I of course ended up relasping again and again.
I decided to opened up to my doctor and he’s refered me to a psychologist to help me uncover traumatic events in my past that I shut out as a defense mechanism. I battle severe anxiety, depression, ptsd etc. I have daily flash backs and I know there’s a lot buried deep down. I’m tired of running in circles. If I dont uncover these events and deal with them the healthy way then how am I to heal right?
I restarted the clock today and it sucks. I relapsed but I got rid of the rest of my booze by dumping it. I made a promise to my wife that we will not go to the liquor store anymore. She’s of course being 100% supportive and says she will not drink anymore too so I dont get triggered. Sorry I know this is long just thought I’d share as to why I’ve been gone. I’m back though and missed you all dearly. Hung over so bad in this photo sorry it’s not a really cheerful photo but I am happy to finally be dealing with this the right way. Much love.
Sox are on the road this weekend, where were you repping Boston gear ?!?
That looks great! I wish I could be there! How did you meet all those people? AA or so?
All the males in the picture completed the program I am still currently in and the females are ones that went thru our meetings and we all became a family that just keeps growing
New sober friends!
Indeed new friends
