Celebrating Milestones!
Celebrate Milestones!
We are all in recovery. 7 cups is all about empowering us to overcome. Some groups have celebrations for a month of sobriety. I think we should have the same for any kind of victory we've achieved. No accomplishment is too small to share. If you you are socially anxious and you made it through a shopping trip at the mall, then post it here! If you broke up with someone and are now feeling like your normal self again, then post it here. If you struggle with an addiction, and you've been clean a day, a week, a month, or a year, then post it here.
We need to celebrate our victories! Remember, it is okay to relapse - that is part of the journey - the key is to just take a step in the right direction.
We are all in this together! Let's celebrate with one another to highlight milestones passed :)
After having a broken heart several times, hating every boy/human, depression, selfharm, etc, i destroyed the walls, i've build around me. Now I love somebody, who loves me too.
I have not got thoughts about suicide, cutting, ...in the last 4 months, i'm so proud
I'm so proud of you! I'm happy too ^.^ you deserve the best :)
Thanks :)
Oh well well congratulations. .. self love is first love... :) *free hugs* :) :) :)
I led my first discussion here at 7 cups and I loved it so much I decided to set up a weekly discussion for self harm!

Yaay, congrats! And I think it's really great that you've set up a weekly discussion, I'm sureit'll help lots of people! Thank you for all you do here, you're so wonderful. <3
I got my gumption back and left my cheating husband. I don't deserve to be treated like a doormat.
Good for you! I'm sure that wasn't an easy task, but I am sososo proud of you for ridding yourself of what was causing you so much pain. And I'm so glad you are aware that you deserve so much better, because you do. You really, really do. Congrats, and I know there's someone out there who's perfect for you and will love you andonly you. *hugs*<3<3
My boyfriend of 2+ years broke up with me for another girl the week before Valentine's Day. I was totally crushed because I thought we were going to get married. We just recently talked for the first time since we broke up and it felt really good to hear some truth. We found out that our "friends" we're twisting our words to make us both seem like bitter, angry, horrible people. Once we discovered this, things got a lot better. We're still not friends, I loved him a lot so real friendship is out of the question. But I'm finally able to talk to him and look him in the eyes again without wanting to break down crying or feeling anger. I feel like I got the sparkle in my eye back and I'm really feeling a lot better about myself. Better than I've felt in a really long time! I've also gotten more of a backbone to not tolerate when people try to walk all over me. It makes me feel proud of myself to see how far I've come!
I'm glad you got the sparkle back! Way to go :) You should be proud. Let's celebrate :D *hugs*

My step mom has been verbally abusive to me for 10 years, and for 10 years I've kept it a secret from my father, I told him a few days ago, and the weight is kinda lifting.😌
*hugs* I'm glad to hear that! :)
I finally made a friend who cares as much as I do. I don't have any friends so this is big for me. And I've taken action to put aside my stress and try to be happier and calmer. *hugs everyone*
That's so fantastic! I'm really proud of you. I hope things continue to go well for you. :)
I gave a speech to my English class and didn't have an anxiety attack beforehand.
Awh, annon, that is so wonderful to hear! That is such a huge thing, and I am so happy for you.I hope things continue to look up for you, you certainly deserve it. *hugs*<3
