I can't wait till I make it to 8 months !! Great job keep it up !
Hey Amber, it’s really good to see you back and still putting in the work.
Over 8 months and still going sober strong . I think doing relapse prevention speaks to how serious you are to keep your recovery and I applaud you.
Proud of you! Let’s keep going one honest decision at a time.
Thank you! It took 31 years to get here but it’s been the best decision of my life in pa we have to have at least 18 months in recovery to become a crs ( certified recovery specialist) June/july 2026 will be my 18 months and then I can start the class I also wanna become a trauma peer support.
You will get there hun it’s one day at a time some does that to much for me I have do one minute at time or one hour at time. We as addicts gotta stay positive and in the moment can’t always think to far ahead. I changed some things with people places and things. I went back to nature and fishing. Recovery is unique to each person. Not one person has the same recovery that’s why I put so much work into my recovery i spent 31 years on stuff was pregnant 7 times have two children been divorced 3 times lost a lot of friends and family in that time never really delt with it. So I have a lot to work through every day for me is different because I’m learning who I am and still growing and figuring out the sober life you got this keep ur head up build a good support team. Just remember find meetings and it will help and you have to really want it. You can always msg if you need someone to to talk to your not alone
Wow, what an accomplishment! Having the foresight to seek relapse prevention is very impressive. Your wise judgment speaks to your commitment. I wish you well.
Thank you!!! I’m 42 I spent 31 of that messed up. I don’t want it anymore my biggest struggle or trigger is my head I’m my own worst enemy. I just remind my self that I want better than the last 31 years and I’ll do whatever it takes to make it to the top of the recovery ladder. Helping people along the way to make it as well
@amber373679 
CONGRATULATIONS on your 261 days of sobriety. Keep up the good work. From what I researched you've come a long way for that I'm proud of you.
Btw there is no way you're 42. I can see 35 tops.
You will succeed! I will have one month tomorrow. Before this, I hadn’t gone to sleep sober in over 30 years. I really enjoy talking with people who get that.
I get it I spent 31 years on stuff longest I’ve been clean
Yes I’m 42 my oldest child is 23 thank you, that made my morning
@amber373679 I've been around life for quite some time. I'm sticking with 35. You can thank me later.
