@Dazercat thanks! Yeah decided to change it up lol
Dear Rosa and @Lisa07! Thank you so much for thinking about me, you are so kind, I missed you too!
Iām doing really great at the moment, Iām about 9.5 months sober.
I didnāt come back to the forum for a while ā¦ since December I started feeling pretty good and more like myself again. Iāve been battling addiction and depression for so long and I finally feel like the worst part is over. Iām setteling into my new, sober life: Iāll be starting a new job in March, I still go to therapy, I go hiking a lot, heck I even started dating again. I guess I took some time off from thinking and talking about it for a while and just ā¦ lived my best sober life
I also have this weird thing about not being able to give back to this forum enough ā¦ I received so much love and wisdom when I felt my worst, that I often think I canāt possibly contribute anything to the same degree š¤· but Iāll happily post as many Penguins as I can for you Lisa
So happy to read this T.
And you just gave back. By giving hope to all that read this. Really happy for ya. Keep doing what youāre doing.
Aww! All great stuff going on in your life @Penguin. Keep living that sober life and stop in every so often to say hello.
What a wonderful update! Thanks for sharing! Itās always great to hear when people are doing so well. Happy for you.

Awwwā¦ Thanks hun. I needed this today.
Iāve been distracted, honestly. And Iām dealing with people and past wreckage thatās not very fun. I donāt trust myself and Iāve ignored my intuition for too long.
I really appreciate your kind words.
Love you
Dealing with past wreckage brings me down, so I can relate. I know youāre dealing with a lot, so try to make a little time to check in here, let us know how you are, maybe share a bit of gratitudeā¦ itāll help. You always have us. I love you back.
Hey. Look at you with 111 days!! Thatās great to read! Very happy for ya June. Keep doing what your doing.
Iāll keep you in my prayers for strength and peace Allison.
This can be some very tough stuff to work through.
I too, hope to see you back on the gratitude thread. Something about your check in on the gratitude thread, your presence, cheers me up.
God Bless
