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 :)
I got my divorce finalized this month. I was in an abusive relationship for 3years and a year ago I left. I struggled with depression, PTSD, and anxiety. It's been hard and I'm not over any of it but I'm officially no longer married to someone who doesn't respect me let alone love me.
Getting your divorce finalized after being in an abusive relationship for 3 years, where you didn't feel loved or respected is a great thing!! Congratulations!! Overcoming PTSD and depression in the process is another great accomplishemnt!! So many people stay in abusive relationships for the wrong reasons, often economic dependence. Now you'll have a chance to find a non-abusive relationship where you are loved and respected. I wish more people had the balls to get out of a relationship that they know is harming them them so much, but they don't take the risks that they need to take!! You did!! I hope that all good things begin coming to you now and I wish you the very best of luck and success in becomingemotoinally and financially independent in the future!!!
I set up an appointment with a therapist today; something I haven't done in years but really have needed it. Also recently began taking anti-depressants again. It's nice to make the right decisions for a change.
I went to my doctor andI started taking anti-depressant again.
I am starting to move on from the guy that dumped me
Awesome!!! I'll tell your from personal experience that after a while you will feel evenmorefree!
very hard thing to do! good job im going through that now and know how hard it is to do
I got through a party on Saturday without crying, and I even talked to a couple of people!
Well good jobSheillagh!!! Keep up the good work :P
in 38 days I will graduate college with a 4.0 gpa in my program. I am doing so well. I also am no longer having thoughts of suicide or hurting myself which is a big goal for me. I feel so much happier than before.
Woah, 4.0, that's impressive! About the suicide thoughts... that's just wonderful, really, as hard as it is changing something like that, and you achieved it, congratulations, more than deserved ;)
Well, that was not what I planned, it was supposed to be a reply but hey, the intention is what counts haha
Finally home !! Gosh !!
Couldn't wait to share I didn't cry cause my boyfriend broke up with me yesterday.
It kinda helped that we decide to just take few days and have a talk, but still, the only thought I might loose him scares me but I smiled all day and thought about great things.
wish you all a good day :)
can we delete those post please, I posted inwrong tab.:/
I finally saw a therapist for the first time today and I really like her. I know this is the first step to punching depression and anxiety in the face :)If you are depressed and don't go to therapy, I highly recommend it.
I'm so glad you found a therapist that you like. I hope everything works out for you and you have a wonderful week. :)
Proud of myself for buying my first car and driving it home:)
Congrats @powerfulsail32!
