Recovery is not about control—it’s about care.
If you’re struggling today, start with one kind thought about yourself. 💜

Today, I found joy in....

My home group meeting that seemed to solidify all the work I've done in the last 2 weeks

An evening spent knitting, chatting, and watching a homegrown movie from Aotearoa, with my oldest friend..

Nite peeps 💜

Ahhh, New Zealand, what did you do?
She was the best of them, and we tossed her away.

Just an amazing documentary 💜

New this app, having decided to leave the Other Place. I’m a 40s British Guy who’s recovering from using alcohol to numb things and learning how to be alive and handle all the sadness that life brings without drinking. Would appreciate any connections #recoveryposse #sober

"The best reason for gratitude is the outlook it creates as we cultivate it within ourselves. We will actually feel mentally & physically uplifted if we know true gratitude. This is the spiritual outlook alcoholics seek in the bottle but can find only in a new way of life." -WalkInDryPlaces #Sober

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have onto enough, and more." -Melody Beattie #SoberSky #Recovery
