That's an incredible accomplishment that I hope to one day reach. I just try to win the day I'm in tho. Hang in there! You're not alone 
Things can be shitty, I know. Try to keep in mind that feelings can change quickly sometimes. Remember HALT: if you are feeling hungry, angry, lonely or tired, address those issues and it will probably help. Strength!
Congratulations. I am on day 3 . You are an inspiration. One day at a time . You must be strong to have 337 days . Hugs and prayers today

You have 337 articles of proof you were built for the struggle Joan. There is another force out there that knows that elusive 365 is very close for you and can’t stand it. Well, you are going to get that 365 and then some Joan and you already have 337 articles of evidence and this post reaching out for help that are proof you can, and will get through it.

Don’t use we all have struggle at one time or another doing our recovery, but we didn’t use life on life terms at the moment seems difficult but hold on tomorrow you will see a different light your high power will guide you through this uneasy time hold on you can get through this sober
Joan, it’s normal to struggle just prior to 1 year of sobriety. Don’t fret. Lean into the program, the sober community, step work, service, prayer and meditation. I’m here if you want to talk
Hey Joan, in my experience when I give all my struggles to God and live for His purpose my life is better
Congratulations!
It's ok to struggle thats how we learn.
You got this, one day at a time
Wow! Your an inspiration! I'm only on day 40...something but I feel really good! Just think back on how far you have come! How much better is your life today than whatever it was that brought you to the decision to be sober...God's got blessings in your life in the near future! Hold on my friend ...a great life is ahead of you! Hang on to it! White knuckle it if you have to...it will all be so worth it!! Go outside and breathe some of that natural air! Take a walk if u can...this too shall pass! Thank your higher power for helping you kick this! Thank him for all you're greatful for today...your mindset will change immediately...I promise you...I works for me daily! The fact that your reaching out shows how much you want this!! You have come this far...you are stronger than you think! Keep pushing on my friend...you have a lot more fight left in you!!! I have faith in you!!
I'm a little confused that we can use the word cr#p or sh*t on this app! Don't they know where we've been and the people we've hung out w? You want us to be honest about our addiction and how were feeling...let us
Hi Michael, I’m just struggling with letting go of relationships that are unhealthy to my sobriety and replacing them with people who are healthy. It’s not easy and I miss the friendships that I no longer have.

I had a lot of friends I had to let go, but they let go of me first, I guess my sober life is not appealing to some as it was to me. I just want to live so I do what I have to. Journaling, lots of walking, and reading a lot. Stay strong, you got this! One minute at a time.
@joan401779 I get it. I (we) all go through it or have gone through it. You just gained your biggest ally. Add me. I sent the friend request.
Thats awesome
