Red face Hi! I'm new here and I'm 9 months clean off crystal meth

Hello there,

I have been researching online how to effectively journal about my sobriety.

I have found that a sobriety log. writing about moods, buying specific journals off amazon, and topics to journal about.

Topics such as:
  • Letter to past me
  • Letter to future me
  • Dreams and goals for the future
  • Beginning the day with a journal entry
  • Ending the day with how the day went in a journal entry


I want to see what advice others have in the journey through sobriety.

Thank you. Thanks for having me!

Welcome to the family. You can either post your thoughts on this thread (or another thread) or you can start a blog. Keeping track of your feelings/activities is a good thing to do.

Glad to meet you, hellosobriety. Journaling is a valuable thing to do - I wish I'd thought to keep track of my feelings & progress. Sometimes our memories grow dim & we forget what we've actually been through & how painful it was.

Congratulations on your 9 mos. clean - that's wonderful.

Congratulations, hellosobriety! Welcome!

You might like to join the One Year and Under Club on SR for daily support. There are a lot of daily support threads -- https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...pport-threads/ -- that are like little communities within the SR community, where you can get to know people and share your journey.

Also many people -- like me -- find daily expression of gratitude is a really helpful way to frame every day. There are lots of gratitude threads on SR: https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/gratitude-list/

Search around! We're a big and welcoming (only rarely squabbling) family!
