Jordi (Y'all'd'n't've)Today, I take 11 years of sobriety from alcohol. It has been an incredibly chaotic, demanding, and ultimately trying decade, a period that has tested my will and strength. Without support from my family and friends, I wouldn't have made it this far. So to all of you who have supported me, you have my deepest thanks. #RecoveryPosse #SoberLife #ODAAT #MentalHealth
OriginaladdictedbunnySo recently I've had a lot of serious health issues, where it consisted of a hospital stay, when I got out my drug worker asked me what was more important to me, my health or my clean time, he was genuinely shocked when I said my health #recovery #recoveryposse #recoverystories
Will BePSA: If you, a non addict, end up with a group of addicts/alcoholics in recovery, in a social setting or ESPECIALLY in a recovery meeting, please do not take that opportunity to tell everyone how proud of them you are, or how brave everyone is, etc.
It's so cringey. Everyone is not going to be mad at you but some are certainly going to be rolling their eyes, and some are going to be say "Oh bless their heart".
notesThe chaos and cognitive dissonance are really wearing on me. How are folks keeping up the energy and focus on so many fronts? How do you stay awake while so many seem to be numbing out in the face of growing need?

It's weird that after decades of sobriety, years of which I wasn't involved with a group at all, I'm more into the program than I ever was.
It really is the easier softer way.
Anyone ever have an 12 step meeting on Signal? Not knowledgeable to know if that would work, if you can invite random people.
On the list of things I haven't really done that I'm now trying to do, been doing meditation for the last few months.
Didn't get a lot out of it at first, maybe I am now, but it's certainly not hurting.
When I'm down and going through dark periods I remember that even that isn't anything like what it was before I got sober.
Truth is I've been somewhat depressed most of my life, and that's probably not going away. But it is much more manageable and I have a way to live with it now.
Writing BlindCelebrating 4 years sober today! So proud to say that! Going to keep kicking ass and taking it one day at a time and staying sober! ๐ค๐ป๐ฅณ๐ค๐ป๐ฅณ๐ค๐ป #RecoveryPosse #recovery #sober #SoberLiving #sobriety
Celebrated a sober anniversary recently.
After so many years of not being involved I'm more involved now that ever before. Because it works for me, it's better than not being involved. It's really that simple.
Helping other people is more rewarding to me than I imagined.
