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 have started a new eating lifestyle and in the first week I have lost 10 lbs!!!! I was able to bake a cake yesterday without eating the batter or any icing!!! I have never been able to resist sweets!!!!!!!!
Wow! That's amazing! You have great self control. Keep up the good work! I wish you all the best.
One of my reviews says I saved someone's life.

I have recently ended a majorly abusive relationship between me and one of my "friends." The toxic relationship has been going on for about 4 years now, and I'm proud to say that I finally ended it. She would constantly put me down, make me feel horrible about myself, make fun of me, and turn situations onto me. When I ended it with her, she tried to come back multiple times, and I didn't let her. It hurts knowing that she's gone, but I know that this is a step in the right direction and I'm proud of my accomplishment.
Recognizing a toxic relationship is hard, and getting out of it is just a big merit. Be proud of yourself 'cause you deserve it. Good job!
I know it's a bit late but on Sunday (11/09/14) I was 6 months clean from self harm, and I've been doing really well recently with my new meds, and I've finally taken to working out- it feels great. I'm very happy with this :)
Yay! Way to go :) I'm glad to hear that you're doing well with you're new meds. Keep it up! *hugs*
Congratulations. You should be proud of yourself. Good luck in your future endeavors.
I successfully wrote my emotions out instead of blowing up internally
Yay! Sometimes that's the hardest but most necessary step.
That's awesome! I'm so proud of you. :D

I haven't touched my blades in almost four months and I've been eating a lot better lately. I haven't though about suicide in a while and I've been happier lately. Hopefully I stay like this.
I know this might not sound too important, and it might not even be a milestone, but it does feel like one. I've finally discovered what sexuality I am,and thanks to the help of a listener I feel I am more able to come out to my parents. It's like I'm starting to know myself again! :)
No achievement is big or small! Every lil thing can be celebrated :) I'm glad you're here. *hugs* yay! That's great. You have the right to choose your sexuality and love yourself! I'm so proud of you! Way to go :D love you loads. Cheerios! :)
Thank you! :D
Yay! That is huge :)
