Recover Together
Oh boy – been having a difficult couple of months on the home-front, my two local friends have disappeared due to their own relationships/family, and work got a bit isolating. Not a fun combination – definitely feel isolated!!.. frightened, angry… But not once did I think alcohol was going to make it better! Hallelujah to knowing that. I wish that for all of us. And if you’re not there yet – hang in there because it will come. Remember - it’s a liar, telling you it will help… after those two seconds pass, you always feel worse. It really is possible to make it through hard times and hard feelings
@Jenn. Happy new year to you as well. What a great message to start with!
Hi Rustom! Good morning

Bad habits… patterns/thoughts that no longer serve us and/or do us harm. Just when I’m feeling soooo smart, I realize I know only a little bit.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@jordan. Im sorry about your friend. He/she is at peace now.
I do understand that Lara. I'm appreciative of this group and it helps me a lot. I'll go back and read stuff but I don't always feel I need to share. When I do, I know there is this wonderful group of people, along with people in my life that I feel comfortable to do that with. Thank you all
I’ve had that question posed to me from my father a few times….Why THIS time? I believe my age played a part in it perhaps. But there is more. But I wish I knew as well. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful gift to have “the answer “ to give….
So true Jordan!!! I learned a trick that helps… To phrase my feeling at the time as such “I noticed I’m feeling _____ right now”. It kinda puts it in perspective and i can define a space to where it doesn’t cloud all things or overtake me. Of course - im still practicing it allllll and reach out always for caring hands.
I hope and pray that each of you go into 2026 overcoming your challenges. Staying sober. Being strong. Having PEACE. Feeling loved. And being able to reflect in 365 days and seeing nothing but GOOD. You all deserve GOOD. Lots of love from your friend, me. ❤️
I hope everyone is having a good day. I just got some very sad news about a friend who was struggling with alcohol addiction. Tell the ones you love how much you care for them today. I'm sending heavenly prayers to you my friend.
@Jeff, I’m sorry, I don’t know because… math🤪 I know it is a big deal so congratulations 🥳
@Jordan, That’s huge. Congratulations on two years! I know it is very hard and am proud of you for making it this far on your journey.
If you know…. You know….. 🙏🏼😌😁🎉🎊
Thank you brotha, it's been a tough journey but worth it. I really enjoy remembering life as it happens instead of people telling me about it
@jordan HAPPY 2 YEAR SOBRIETY ANNIVERSARY MY FRIEND! Hope you have an amazingly, blessed day today!🙏🏼😌❤️😁
Welcome in everyone
You are awesome and stronger than you think. Just a little something I like to remind myself of... Thank you all for being here!
Hi Ronnie. I haven’t been able to be as active on this app the past couple weeks due to a lot of things going on within my family. Are you able to go places during the work week? Daytime? I go to a free line dancing class sometimes during the day. Otherwise it is frequently on a Thursday night 6–8 p.m.. in the Davis area. I would be happy to meet with you there beforehand.
Thank you.
@Micaiah Baker I'm almost 6 months sober and struggle daily with anxiety and Reaching out can feel like there’s a wall in the way, even when we know we have support. That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It just means you’re human and you’re struggling, and that’s okay. The fact that you shared this at all shows strength, not weakness. You’re trying, even if it doesn’t feel like it. And the “real you” isn’t lost
Hang in there man, you got this!
I’m struggling now. I just wanted to share what’s come from my anxiety attack and emotional breakdown in my truck just now while trying to work up the nerve to walk in the gym. Love Anybody. “ What is fallacy “ What’s the point in having all this support when I don’t reach out? Can’t reach out? There’s a physical block like I’m locked in my own mind I can’t find the key to the real person That’s me , instead there’s a pretense, I make so I don’t show how I hold my own value low I can’t control my own vanity , It implodes inside of me This masterpiece is more like a catastrophe Of shattered dreams , All just one big fallacy.
Welcome everyone
Good morning everyone.
We have a bunch of new people, welcome in, it's a warm safe place here

@jordan Can’t wait for December 5th, for your milestone celebration. But, No Fronts!😜🤣❤️😁
This is the second year, on December 5th, that I'll have a sober holiday. I can feel myself getting more excited for this time of year. It's been many years that I've felt joy for the holidays and am looking forward to this one. I know how hard it is to "not wanna feel" but I know we are strong. We have this beautiful platform to express our feelings unlike we've had in the past and know we are here for each other. I hope everyone enjoys a beautiful evening and remember to smile... Only cuz it feels good to feel good, you rock!
…. I was just reminded by one of my Support people, of that word ACCEPTANCE …Always helps to manage those moments of sorrow and regret. 👋🏻
Today is a big anniversary date for me. A great day to reflect and celebrate courage, perseverance, gratitude and all those itty-bitty little things I do to keep my life headed in a healthy direction!! Don’t really love that wee little drop of sorrow that gets mixed in there… Those days/years lost… Gotta work on forgiving myself a bit more 🙄👍
Good afternoon
hi everyone
Good morning all, enjoy the beautiful things today. They are all around us! Leaves, paws, smiles. Thankful to be up and at it again today!
What I neglected to add… Is that it just starts with a little step to get connectivity… And can build from there to whatever degree is comfortable for you…
Was just listening to a BAD radio episode and was reminded of Brando’s recommendation of using the “Reframe APP” for his recovery. Anyone else tried it?
