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 just one session, I feel happier. I feel like I've really been helped!
Awesome!
That'sfantastic! I remember when I had my first session. I dragged my feet on the way there because my mom made me go and I was so scared, and when I left, I walked with a skip in my step. I now look forward to every single session. I switched to a different person because I didn't click with the first one, but I'm still super happy that I went. Life isn't such a burden when someone else can take some of the weight. Congrats and good luck!
That is so true and that is why I love 7 cups so much.
I'm four days clean without self harm!!
That is an AMAZING thing to celebrate!! Congratulations!! Keep it up, champ!!
Depression sucks. But defeating depression feels so freeing. I'm not perfect yet, but I can definitely say I am no longer full on depressed. Recovery doesn't happen overnight, but it slowly creeps up. You don't want to believe you are recovering because because you are scared it's just a good couple days and then you will relapse again. And it's scary as hell to hope. But it's possible. Hang in there recovery is possible.
@lyricallylit you've expressed this beautifully.The difference between being depressed and well againis incredible, especially if you've struggled with depression for awhile.I hope your confidence in your recovery grows each day. Cheers!

Finally worked up the courage to be honest with myself about what needs to be done in order to feel truly be content with myself. Sometimes the hardest roadblock is the one in the mind.
I saw a therapist for the first time ever today. I'm seeing him again next week. I'm not sure if it's going to work out with this guy, but I'm going to give it a shot.
Actually getting the courage to talk to people and get advice after being sexually assaulted and being in an abusive relationship is hard but this has become so helpful on nights that I cants sleep or I'm really stressed and have no one to talk to. Thanks for this app
That takes both strength and courage. So glad this can help you find peace without yourself.
I just came out to my closest friends. I know it was well done but I'm shaking and Ifeel like I'm about to be sick and I really really hope I didn't make a mistaking in trusting them with this. I do trust them but I'm just so, so scared and I really need support from someone (anyone!) because I'm completely alone with this and I haven't told anyone else even though everyone I accepting I'm just not ready. I've been so worried about this moment and it finally happened and now I don't know what I feel.
I haven't selfharmedfor one year, five months and four days
That's great! Truly celebration-worthy.
