Came here to post something deep about life, sobriety, accomplishments. But then I got a little sad that I'm approaching a year and no one in my "real life" outwardly gives a cr@p. I'm so much more popular online :grinning:

We see you! Those ā€œreal lifeā€ people will never understand us like we understand us. Youā€™re doing a great job and helping others. Maybe we are real life lol

I meanā€¦a dog that can type is impressive. There arenā€™t many real world situations where you can show that skill. Haha itā€™s alright man! We donā€™t need recognition to know weā€™re making the best choice for OUR life. Keep going strong!

Ask yourself thisā€¦ Are you happy about your sobriety? Thatā€™s what matters. Nothing needs to be proven to anyone, but yourself. Congrats.

Weā€™re our own breed, and we look out for one another, and will celebrate your successes with you! Coming up on a year is freaking AMAZING!

Tell us your deep thoughts and accomplishments! Gotta be sober for you. As they say 'what others think of us is none of our fcking business!" :slight_smile:
And "Those amongst us no explanation is necessary
Those not amongst us, no explanation is possible"

Thanks for sharing this and congratulations :tada: :star_struck: it inspires me to keep going. I feel the same with those around me, unless youā€™ve lived it, you just donā€™t get it. And finding this app has made a world of difference for me to share.

Thank you!!! Side note, I first read this as "we're our own BREAD" and started thinking about cool, cryptic metaphors about life and bread. :grinning:

Thatā€™s too funny. Ironically, I have to be gluten free, so I eat different BREAD than people who donā€™t have food allergies. :rofl:

Totally agree. Itā€™s ok to want people to encourage you. Sometimes itā€™s disappointing those we think are close to us feel out of touch. But we see and hear you here :grin:
