It hasn't been easy, l've had plenty of dark moments. Life is also rich and full of wonderful moments as well. I'm grateful for health and safety. I'm thankful for continued emotional healing from trauma. Healing isn’t linear, but I’m stubbornly resilient. 18 months feels good.

You’re True to yourself and that honesty will be such a blessing in the future! The choices in life are not always easy but there can’t be good without the bad. We sometimes say yes to one thing but in fact at the same time we are saying no to everything else. Knowing ourselves and what we can or can’t do is a great moment to remember! We made all these choices and those choices have brought us to this point! Happy 18 Months!

That’s so kind of you to say, thank you! The people here have been an encouragement to me as well.

Meri. Congrats on your long sobriety! I was wondering if you still crave your substance? What are you recovering from?

Congratulations, Meri!
This is not an easy path.
And recovering from trauma, traumas-can yes, feel so overwhelming ( duh, right )?
Keep going-rooting for you!
I also love that you are into yoga.
I need to be more consistent with the practice.
More power to you, Meri!

We are stronger than our past traumas. When I figured that out is when I started healing. Glad we are sharing our journeys

You actually introduced me to tapping (I think that’s the name). I’ve tried it a few times and found it helpful!

Oh my goodness, Meri-yes, that is the name…tapping!
( I need to do this more, myself ).
Thank you for sharing about this.
Lately, I have just been zipping from one thing to another, feels like.
When I saw your share, I paused and thought, so-so good.
That you are celebrating 18 months of sobriety!
And thank you for reminding me that I need to invest in some self-care this week.
Onwards, Meri!
