I am happy to say I’ve moved past the phase of being sad about losing friends, and I actually relocated back to Montana. I’m over 9 months sober and just started a social media cleanse (IG , FB and deleted Twitter). I am hopeful that I can be less stressed and more productive without it, and maybe kind of reset my nervous system. The constant notifications are not helpful. Anyone else tried this? Also, if anybody on here lives in Montana and wants to chat please reach out! I’d love to hear about your experience here. It’s hard to find people sober people here.. wishing you all peace and happiness!

I've never been but it's high on my list. I've had enough traffic and clutter.
Best of luck. What great surroundings to appreciate through sober eyes.

Yes it’s beautiful! It’s a nice place to travel to in the summer months. Spring through fall are beautiful too, just don’t advise winter unless you’re coming to ski. It’s very cold!
Yeah I come to Florida by way of Chicago, so I'm no stranger to cold .. but from what I hear Montana cold is some next level cold. I'll be sure to plan it in the summer, when the average temperature around here is in the mid three hundreds.
Congrats also on abandoning the wild wacky world of social media. I did that a couple years ago and it felt like sudden peace. I do not miss it.

That is such a beautiful part of the country. I take my motorcycle to Sturgis, South Dakota all the time. I first started in 2018 and wasn't sure how I would enjoy it, as soon as I got there I fell in love with it's beauty and have been going every year sense.

Thanks so much!
I have not been on any social media besides this, since I started my detox and now it’s almost two years and I don’t miss it and all the notifications. Here is to better mental health and great job on 9 months. You are amazing and inspiring
Good for you on the sobriety and social media cleanse! This app is my only social media outlet. It’s the only one where the people seem genuine.
Congrats on your 9 months 
Today is 68 days for me. I like the idea of the social media cleanse. Are u including tv as well?
Congrats on 9 months. So awesome. C ya there in two years, when my kids graduate high school 
That's awesome 9 months! Congratulations! I'm just scratching the surface with my journey have almost a month, but yeah I can relate to what u said. Some friends though we may care for them are not healthy for us to be around. Also yeah social media sucks!
Hey Montana huh?! Which part ? Got family in Montana
