Again, no criticism implied. I'm just curious about how you use these memories to support your current self esteem. Thanks for sharing!

I find it helpful to occasionally revisit these sort of lists to;

remind me over again why it's so important to me to maintain sobriety
remind me how far I've come
reconnect with my gratitude these days are behind me

I find it helpful to share these sort of lists to;

help others see that maybe they're not alone
help others see that maybe the track they're on is one they might want to think about changing
