There’s nothing better for the mind than this I had a long chat with an 80 yr old walker, he said people don’t live in the present or appreciate the ‘free’ things. we shared gratitude for the surroundings & the present moment. He said I made his day, he made mine 🩵

Hello recovery world, had an unplanned break, came back to a few concerned dms. I’m good! I’ve been working, spending time with family, travelling, just navigating through every day life & my recovery continues to go well through the ups & downs 💪🏻

Been incredibly overwhelmed with stress. My head said drink to escape. My heart said get out in nature. A cold wet foggy day, but a sober & calm one 🤍

Going through the saddest most painful rollercoaster experience of my life. My heart hurts. I’m fatigued. Yet the world carries on as normal around me & I have to act ok. If only there was a pause button 😮‍💨

Was just talking about how in early recovery free time was painful, I didn’t know what to do with myself. Now I have so many interests/hobbies it feels like there isn’t enough time in the day. It does get better as you find yourself.

Just another Saturday hangover/comedown free. Not a moment is wasted. I love how this is now normal life. Forever grateful for this freedom I now have 🤍

highs of zero degrees 🥶 Whilst out I was reflecting on how painful this time of the year used to be in addiction. No energy. Full of regret. Desperate to change but unable to get a day sober. So so grateful to be free from that.

This weekend sees the first Full moon of 2026. It is called the Wolf 🐺 Moon 🌝 named for the howling of wolves during cold winter nights when food was scarce, though they actually howl for communication, territory, and pack bonding. Spiritually, it's a time to reconnect with

Today marks 5 years since I stopped drinking alcohol. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Highly recommend giving it a try.

I am 3 years sober today!!! I had no idea this was day 1 of a new life & everything was about to improve way more than words could explain:

I’m so so sick & tired of addiction I could scream. Feel chained down to it atm but I’m really trying. Still fighting it but it seems extra hard this time with having no energy after drinking/using endlessly. 1 day ill be free from this utter madness 🙏

If this is your first sober Christmas, it’s going to feel different—that’s normal. The entire first year of sobriety is full of firsts that seem different Remember: your sobriety is the most important gift you could give your loved ones this Christmas —and that’s meaningful

Heading towards Christmas without any addictive thoughts screaming in my head is something I once could’ve only dreamed of. My mind is so peaceful it’s unreal. All the effort seriously pays off ❤️‍🩹

I just can’t express how much more fun & sociable my life is since getting sober. There’s no missing out - I gain so much & do so much more with friends & family than I ever did before. It really is the best thing I’ve done ❤️‍🩹

I never spend a Sunday regretting being sober. I used to spend every Sunday regretting that I’d used. I’d never trade the peace I have now 🦢🤍

I’ve been feeling so content in my recovery lately. The simplest things are bringing the biggest highs. I keep reflecting back feeling relieved & so thankful to be over on this side ❤️‍🩹
