Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Just don't say it mean. DM's always open for my friends in recovery from alcoholism/addiction or those that would like to be. If you don't need to be sober, cheers! #SoberSky

I hear ya, but the last thing I'm gonna do is let him and his people have control and power over my sobriety.

Yeah, our crazy brains always try to trick us into making things worse!🤣 Glad you didn't listen to yours and glad you have such great supportive friends!

Beating yourself up about it won't change a thing. Give yourself a pat on the back for taking yourself home after one. If you drank/drugged like I did, one would have led to a downward spiral and burning it all down to the ground again. You didn't! That's huge. New day today! 💙

"I have hope. That magic thing that I had lost or misplaced. The future looks dark no more. I do not even look at it, except when necessary to make plans...The future will be made up of todays...Hope is justified by many right nows, by the rightness of the present." #AA TFT #SoberSky #Recovery

"Hope is the ability to hear the music of tomorrow. Faith is the courage to dance to it today."

"Life has fallen into place. The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle have found their correct position. Life is whole, all of one piece. I am not casr hither and yon on every wind of circumstance or fancy... I have found my place of rest, my place where I belong. I am content." #AA TFT #Sober #Recovery

"I chose sober because I wanted a better life. I stay sober because I got one."

Once you stop clinging and let things be, you’ll be free... You’ll transform everything… And you’ll be at peace wherever you are.

I honestly thought if I could just put down the bottle, everything would be good. Everything was not good!🤣

Smart Recovery is a good alternative. There are many others.

“Compassion releases others from your struggle to make them conform to your wishes. There is a great deal of kindness in giving others the freedom to evolve naturally as they are—and a lot of patience involved in that.”

It is an amazing journey!

She carefully used the word "arrested". They were detained and held, not arrested and charged. She's conveniently leaving that part out.

"Sobriety lets our wits grow sharper...We are part of the magic of the universe. At times we may not feel very magical but we are. Our spirits hold much magic...We work at making the world a better place. In doing so, we get magical powers. Power that heals & comforts others. Enjoy the magic!" -KIS

"Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever; it is for the present moment. It brings peace & contentment and opens the door to growth, change, and moving forward. It shines the light of positive energy on all that we have and are." -Language of Letting Go #Sober #Recovery

"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way to get through it." -Michael J. Fox (A picture of Michael J. Fox is beside the quote.) #SoberSky

Sometimes growth and healing start with discomfort. Facing things we’d rather ignore. But that's how we recognize what needs to change. When we remember the version of ourselves we don’t want to return to, we make different choices. Even when it stings.

It is rough, no doubt! 27 days is a huge accomplishment and you learned some things during that time so you'll be better prepared this time. I hope you have some support. Going it alone is the hardest way. Never quit quitting.💙

The magic that happens when you stop forcing things.

You stop chasing and start attracting.

You stop controlling and start allowing.

You stop gripping and start flowing.

What’s meant for you doesn’t need pressure, just presence and mindfulness.

Flow = Magic.
