Full of Gratitude and Joy

As I sit in a Starbucks, noticing that today is my 3 years and 2 months, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I get to work on a thesis, in which I explore recovery. I have an amazing life, with supportive and insightful people. I work a program that keeps me going and growing. For those struggling to string together days or fully commit, know that life gets better. It gets easier, and fun, so fun. I have joy in my life today.

Amazing. So great. Your success is incredible, but it’s dwarfed by what you give back. Thank you for all you do for all of us in the recovery family ❤️‍🩹

Jenn I just joined, but you have already helped and inspired me so much. As someone who’s just starting to string together days, your words are so encouraging and mean so much. Bask in that joy! I am so happy you’re feeling it.

Do they write one N or two N’s on your cup?:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: When I go there, they are always like “is that SEAN?”. And I’m like “I don’t give a $hit” but then I don’t want to walk around with my name spelled wrong and someone to see it then they will start spelling my name wrong.:joy:

Congratulations that’s awesome
