Celebrating One Month Locked Up
Tomorrow's my first one month sober since I decided to make a pledge to permanent sobriety. Ny first month sober where I wasn't planning to eventually moderate. I'd like to do something to celebrate but I'm in a psych ward.any ideas?
Congratulations on one month of sobriety! 🎉✨🎊
I'm not sure what you're allowed to do on the psych ward so, if nothing else, I suggest treating yourself kindly today. Maybe you could plan a special meal or outing for when you get home.

Congratulations on one month sober FF. It's been a very stressful time for you so if you can't think of what to do to celebrate then at least allow yourself some time to feel good about achieving a month of being sober. It is something to feel good about.
One month, that is awesome. Great job! When I got to one month of sobriety, I celebrated by repeating one month to myself continually throughout the day and smiling, both inside and out, while I said it. Keep up the good work!
You’re well on your way. Congratulations.
I’ve got a few ideas for you.
I love history, so one idea is to spend a few minutes looking up a fellow named Theobald Matthew who was born In 1790 in County Tipperary over by you. He did not have a drinking problem, but, since he became a priest, he was urged to join the temperance society and preach across the land to get more people to take the pledge. By 1845 he had managed to get more than half the population of Ireland to do it, more than 6 million people. (Not all of them kept it, though, they had left off the “and I will never change my mind” part ;-). ( You probably already know about him, though.)
Another idea is, if you have art therapy, make a representation of your pledge.
Or, make something(s) creative for yourself or family member(s) (like your sister) that might stand as a marker in time as to when YOU decided to turn your life around.

Hey FF. Congrats on the sober time. You’ve been protected by the hospital from drinking so make sure you have your AVRT self talk tuned up before you’re discharged. You said the seizures have occurred while sober so it makes me a bit nervous that the AV Could come back with some kind of ‘it’s ok to drink’ BS.
we don’t drink and we never will.

I was going to suggest quiet contemplation, and journaling FF.
You've started already with a picture of your cake. Did you describe it?
"Ode to a Cake".
Congratulations on one month FF. Hope you are starting to feel better.
