I’m so sick of the post where people feel pressured to achieve something
Hey you, you made it to today. In this post praise yourself for what you did achieve
You didn’t make the gym? Who gives a fuck
You didn’t wash and brush your teeth? Who gives a fuck
You didn’t leave the house? Who gives a fuck
In early recovery do not be so hard on yourselves, the achievement of doing one thing even if it is changing your pants is monumental. Let’s build each other up because the opposite to addiction is connecting

Hell yeah! I love this thread idea! 
It’s exactly the way we should be looking at recovery. Not every day will be easy to get thru. My entire first year, all that mattered was going to bed sober. That was the achievement. Of course, I did achieve many other things, but there were alot more days I didn’t. What matters is that I was doing nothing sober.
Today was actually decent in these terms…
I slept in
I took out the trash and sorted the recycling(my daughter helped)
I put away the dishes I washed last week
I finally called to schedule my required natural gas inspection they’ve been bothering me about for weeks…didn’t get me in til November 
I took a nap
I wiped off the bathroom sink and mirror(kinda)
I sorted the pile of lightly worn clothes on my bedroom floor and folded/put away what I considered ‘clean’
I cleaned the litter boxes
I thought about doing alot more around the house, and it’s the thought that counts right?! 
I consider this a pretty successful day for me at 540 days. There are still many days I can’t accomplish this much, but as long as I’m sober at the end, it’s perfectly fine with me
