Ive had a couple cravings, grocery shopping looking at wine. I used to hardly be able to say no to that craving. Especially on my day off. I was having an extreme moment of sadness and loneliness, and I didnt buy any. I didnt regret that choice, i would have if I bought it. #sobriety #sobersky
Its all about personal growth, determination and strength. Im not broken. #sober #sobriety #sobersky #recovery #alcoholism

If you find the helpers, you'll know that there's hope." -Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers is pictured beside the quote wearing a tie and red sweater. He is smiling broadly.

Learning how to live in the greatest peace, partnership, and brotherhood with all men and women, of whatever description, is a moving and fascinating adventure.

The first step to sobriety is realizing your liver is tired.
Mine was for sure! 😂 I can laugh about it now. Nothing funny about any of it back then. #Clean&Sober #SoberSky #Recovery

Dear alcoholic/addict, Living in reality 24 hours at a time is the most bad ass act we will ever accomplish.
A clean drug addict is a strong soul. Most people are never faced with losing everything and then fighting every day for a better life. Addicts who survive addiction and make a comeback are amazing!
Tell me about it #SoberSky #SoberLife #ODAAT #WomenInRecovery #InTheRooms #sober #SoberCurious #sobriety Do the next. right. thing ❤️🩹
"His fault. Her fault Their fault. Not me"
"There are excuses but never good reasons for drinking, We always drink because we want to drink, not because another's actions forced us into it...Once we've established sobriety, we learn that we are always responsible for maintaining our own sobriety." -WIDP #SoberSky #Recovery
"Once more: The alcoholic at certain times has no effective mental defense against the first drink. Except in a few rare cases, neither he nor any other human being can provide such a defense. His defense must come from a Higher Power."

Every recovery from alcoholism began with one sober hour.

You cannot think your way into sober living. You live your way into sober thinking. (Butterflies are pictured around the quote.)
I can relate to this. After the election, I made a vow to myself to stay informed but not in a constant state of outrage. Now, when I feel that anger rise up, I pause and breathe. I can be of no use to anyone angry and certainly not drunk. Give it a read if you have time. #SoberSky #Recovery
"Thus was I convinced that God is concerned with us humans when we want Him enough. At long last I saw, I felt, I believed. Scales of pride and prejudice fell from my eyes. A new world came into view."

Happy Friday, spring has sprung.
The essence of all growth is a willingness to change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever responsibility this entails.

Every sober sunrise is proof that the person you're becoming is stronger than the person you used to be. Sobriety isn't just about what you quit - it's about the life you're slowly building in its place. One clear day at a time.
We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for awhile."

When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.
