Congrats on your sobriety! At the end when you mention how that might be selfish cause you feel somewhat guilty for doing things to make you feel better than listening somewhat to others problems.

I have to be honest: sometimes I avoid coming to SR because I am feeling so down in the dumps that reading about other peoples struggles and problems pushes me further and further into the abyss. Sometimes I just need to fill my brain with positive thoughts in order to feel better. That seems selfish to me, but I am really trying to suck it up and be around here as much as possible.
My old counselor used to tell me, Selfish is Self-Care. You have to take care of yourself and your needs before you can be any good to anyone else.

You have 21 days today sober and clean.

What a miracle.
