Did you ever read, Eat Pray Love? In the beginning of the book she does an exercise similar to this, sort of asking everyone in her life to support her. I don't know if I stole her idea or if it's a sort of universal spiritual cry to ask for help - but knowing that a bunch of virtual/real people would definitely be in my corner helped me. Interesting tool, distraction, whatever. I could have kept going with usernames, I spend enough time here It was enough to change my thinking.

Perfect! I love it! I once was confronted with the AV at about 20 something days (wrote about here) and I told him, "but I will let everyone down at SR, and I don't wanna do that". SR is not only one of my tools but a HUGE motivator not to go back I loved your post!!! xoxox

Aly - Prayers for your mother...<3

Signing in for 24 more at 10:30 AM.

Another sober Sunday blessing us all so make sure to look up and say THANK YOU to the lord above and pat yourself on the back for realizing you are WORTH sobriety and every single beautiful thing it offers us personally, physically, spiritually, mentally, etc etc etc....T
Be thankful for the ugly days too or if you are struggling for that is making you stronger and you are GROWING every moment that passes!!!!......Say thanks for being able to look at yourself and realize going back would be nothing different and we deserve so much more and we find that every 24 hours of sobriety we put forth!!!!

“It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment.”

"that broken thing you keep trying to put back together can't even compare with that beautiful thing that waiting to be built" GO BUILD IT SR!!!

“If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.”

"I dont know where my story will end, but nowhere in my text will it read, "I gave up"


hugs and love around to my absolute FAVES
ALL THOSE MILESTONERS..WOW.....some of my extra faves are on that list, WOO HOO keep trucking friends

I'm in early today, but here for 24 more sober hours.
Warm thoughts to all who are feeling sad, lonely, depressed, struggling.
Being able to share our thoughts and feelings are so important.
What a great support system we have here. Thanks everyone!

Brilliant, Erfra.

I know it's easy to agree with this since I'm experiencing a pretty day, but may we always give thanks for & never, ever forget the ugliness that brought us here.
