I love you guys
Reading success stories every day, even if they seem like small victories at the time, put a huge smile on my face.
Reading about a relapse, no matter how terrible it may feel, I know it’s just a small part of what will be a massive success story one day.
I hope you’re all proud of yourselves, whether you’re 1 day sober or 10,000 days sober. You’re all kicking ass, and inspire me and many others every day.
I was at the bar with a girl I’ve been seeing the other day, she caught a glimpse of my phone and laughed at me for being on Reddit. I was commenting on the daily check in and showed her the post and the sub. I said “look, on the new posts this guys X days sober, so I’ll comment and congratulate him!”
She understood it right away, I told her how much it’s helped me in the first two months and how I need to become more active again. She asks about the sub every day I see her now, and (I think) she’s been drinking less.
We are seriously awesome, all of us.
