Oh thank you so much!!! I’ve been meaning to check in. I’m doing ok!!! Over 6 months alcohol free and FINALLY made it past 1 week without any THC. I only started having the low dose drinks and gummies a couple of months after my last drink of alcohol, and they did replace the booze becoming the lesser of two evils, but I needed to quit. Now I’m realizing I need to get back on here because I never was into social media much before, but when I joined TS I read about social media addictions etc and I can see how that can happen!!! I finally started using Instagram and it has snowballed into making me feel not good enough and like I need to be more etc etc oh it’s another black hole. Overall though things are going really well and I really appreciate you checking in I’ve been thinking about everybody here

Congratulations on your 6 month 
and your week 
Social media does that, you tube shorts get me everytime. I remember watching a family on there a few months back for over an hour feeling they had such a perfect life and we’re so happy, it was nice to see they were grateful but it hurt like I want good enough, sadly I didn’t know when I was watching it 2 weeks before the father has taken his own life. I cried when I found out the next day it really opened my eyes to the sheer pain some can be suffering and that everyone thinks they are ok.
I am not on social media, except for here which I personally don’t class as social media as it’s a safe space for recovery but if I had social medias accounts I guess it all goes together.
It’s great to hear from you and that your doing so well

Good to read you 
@Planipennia
Best wishes for further processing
in the new job 
I am not sure what it is, but I am okay,
and I am safer. Maybe it’s the recovery dharma meetings I did.

Me too. Seems like so few of those beautiful souls who were here when I joined are still here.
But you and I are still here, and still sober, and neither of us think it coincidental, eh?

I remember your (I think) sober twin Benedictine. It’s been YEARS since she was here but there’s an old hotel or apt building that I drive by sometimes called “The Benedictine”. Think of her every time, all this time later.
