Don't get discouraged by others' success

I used to hate going to the gym and being surrounded by fit people. I'd lift my bare barbell and feel fat and weak. I'd look at the guy repping 225 bench sets like they were nothing and want to go home.

We see a lot of celebrations here. Milestones met, goals reached, obstacles overcome. Posts about happy things.

If you are struggling with day 1, remember that every 1 year sober post is from someone that was once on day 0. That person that's clean and sober now was probably once in the gutter. We've all been through the shit.

Don't get discouraged. You can get past day 1, or day 20, or day 400, whatever your current obstacle is.

Keep going.
