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 :)
also,
it has been 1 and a halfto 2 months since i last cut...
all my scars are almost completely invizible.(that means if i keep it up, mom will let me go to prom, which will be hard with my brother being back and today is my birthday.)
@alexaners7734 it touches my heart that you're still here with us today, and you've had the strength to carry on for so long, throughout so much. It's amazing to have such an inspirational person as part of the community here and I just want to thank you for being so incredible. Also, it's awesome that you've stayed clean for such a long time, that just goes to shows what a persevering and brave person you are. You're fantastic!"People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
Congratulations! That is an incredible milestone. You are being so strong right now, and I will be sending good vibes into the universe for your continued strength.

Yay @JessRos3 that's so awesome to hear!!! I'm really happy for you and I'm proud of you too! :) *sends a huge warm virtual hug* You're such a strong person, you rock! I hope all is well and that you take care!"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."Stay amazing ?
good to hear you survived inpatient.
i was in for only a wk. and it was very stressful.
My milestone is that I am alive today
Today was my first day at my new job. It's the first time since 2008 that I've had a job, and so far it's going really, really well.
WOOHOO GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
Thank you so much! :)
your welcome!
I'm celebrating the fact I'm still alive, but I'm not feeling so happy about it
I worked really hard at school today and learned something new.
Yaaaay!
i went to a new T yesterday.
i think shes a keeper.
I sure hope so - it can be so hard to find a good one. I need to get out and do that myself - hats off to you!
I'm proud of myself because I went to my first ever interview today and I think I did really well! :D
Good for you! The first time will always be hardest - it only gets easier from here!
I survived another day without trying to end it...
I'm glad. I hope better days are ahead for you...
Hugs
This month will five years since I had to get admitted at a psychiatric ward because of several suicide attempts. I was fifteen at the time, and thought I would never get to be sixteen. Even though in these years I've hads everal relapses, I am proud of me.
For accepting help, for being brave. For loving myself and others. For realising that I can be the architect of my success. For finding beauty in my surroundings.
For staying.
@easySkies7712 I find your post so inspirational, I understand how scary self harm and suicide can be. I'm proud to be on this website because of strong minded people that also relate to struggling a little more than other people. I'm also glad you're here! I'm also more than greatful to not be alone<3
