What are some of the best memories you have made since joining the sobriety journey?
We sometimes are too focused on the future and do not remember the achievements we have made throughout our journey. The final goal is important but the path we follow to achieve it is just as important. Please share what positive impacts sobriety has brought to your life!
I love this share, your post Nicholas.
Thank you!
I do not give myself enough credit for being sober for ( this time-for around? 620 something days - I don’t look at my counter daily ).
I am more present for loved ones ( and strangers whose day I may have turned around ).
Some of my best memories involve taking care of foster cats throughout this past year of life.
When I was drinking myself into absurd stupors, there is no way that I would have been present and, or responsible enough to help an animal in need-to help find her / his a loving forever home.
These animals have changed my life…and reminded me that I am worthy and am capable of doing good things.
Ah.
And celebrating my 50th sober and present felt priceless. I wish that I had had more sober birthdays prior to the last two-while here is to more sober ones.
What about you, Nicholas?
( I love this question / gonna think about so some more and write in my notebook about so ).
Gratitude for asking.
Hi Sarim! Thank you for sharing your answer! Helping foster cats seems like a loving memory to have and I'm glad they served as support during recovery! Happy to see more sober birthdays and a fulfilling life!
