It’s been a minute, this year has been a difficult one…I haven’t been on the app but opened today and saw your message, thank you for thinking of me 
Difficult times, but one thing that remains strong is that I don’t need a drink to cope with it!
Sending love your way and sharing this milestone!
Congratulations on your 4 Years @desert_rose ! Good to see you and see you with the 4 Years despite harder times.
@JazzyS is not active on the site at present but someone will give her your message. I know she’ll be glad she heard from you.
@Christophe Sending good vibes your way, hope you are well! 
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your message—it means a lot to me.
I’m doing well. I have a lot to say, but it’s always hard to start over from a blank state.
I went to see my doctor on Friday. The last time I saw him was in July 2025. Compared to then, my condition has improved significantly. I’ve had many days of sobriety.
It’s not permanent. I know relapses are a possibility. It happens couple of days ago.
In any case, I’m taking control of my life.
I have bad memories of my last detox here, even though I stuck with it and stayed sober.
Alcoholism is complicated. That’s why I try to stay sober every day.
Have a good sober day! 
Congrats on 4 years 
I’ll tell Jazzy about your post. She is struggling with her symptoms and takes as much time off screen as possible. Still sober and navigating life as good as possible 
@Catk Hope you’re OK Cat. We’re here for you 
Im good thank you! Just staying quiet… questioning a couple things about “sobriety” lol nothing bad… just dont really wanna “quit” everything but I dont know where that leaves me. Is an edible 2 times a month bad for me personally? Am I not sober then? Actually any input would be nice… from anyone 
(day 3 no thc, all the other stuff is still going strong 
)
Those paintings are so cool!! Thank you for posting. It’s been rainy, windy, and gloomy for 2 days and seeing those paintings really helped me just now.. I really like all 3 but the first one is my favorite.
I quit smoking and eating stuff with thc in it after 35 years of daily use (except for holidays). I quit because it had long stopped being of any use or fun to me, all it gave me was paranoia and anxiety. The last years it was just a daily habit. No idea why I continued for so long.
During those 35 years I never called or considered myself addicted to the stuff. I didn’t smoke on holidays right? And that was easy. What I thought of later was that during holidays I drank every day. Quite a lot.
And after I quit THC, I developed a daily habit of drinking alcohol, while before I was ‘just’ quite a serious binge drinker, two, three nights a week. In the course of three years my life deteriorated and I drank ever more. Until it came to a point where I felt I had two choices left: drink and die, or live and quit. I quit. I choose life. I realized I was an addict, not just to weed, not just to booze, but an abuser of substances who used that substances as a miserable coping mechanism to deal with life.
And now I’m sober, and through hard work my life has become so much better. Work I could never have done would I have not banned all substances from my life. I’m an addict. I’m a substance abuser. For me life is so much better without substances in my life. Whatever the substance. Never again.
That’s me. I don’t know you Cat, so I don’t know if you are an addict or not. I am pretty sure real addicts should abstain from all substances. How it is for you, is up to you to decide and find out. Wishing you all success friend
Thankyou for that 
Glad to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your recent relapse, but I’m glad you’re not letting it stop you from attempting sobriety on a daily basis!
Hi, thanks for asking!
I’ve been lurking a bit, but just dealing with a few things that aren’t going my way.
I hope your day was OK, I’m sorry to hear about your dad.
Was your name rosacando?
I’m sorry I don’t think it was I apologize…
@RosaCanDo how are you doing
Hi Anna, Jazzy @JazzyS congrats on your 4 years and sends greetings.
To all who miss her: She too, she misses TS and us
She’s in a rough spot healthwise and has a lot of work so she is pushing through and keeps going.
I wish I could bite her health troubles so hard that they take flight but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Sending her hugs & healing vibes
Aw thanks for thinking of me!
My 6th Anniversary got the usual cake in Sept 2025, can’t wait for 7 years.
Hope you’re well

@Philipwithonel how are you? Are you still around?
@Alisa and @Puzzled thank you guys for thinking of me I’m still rocking sobriety (1292 days) and life. Very little online presence mostly but slowly coming back. @Juli1 winking at you, I know I’m horrible at keeping in touch hehe.
I started writing and that kinda eats almost all my free time.
How are you guys doing?
