I've seen this sort of thing on a couple of other sites.

It's to put your accomplishments, relapses or anything you want it to be

you could post every day if you need to or once a month, no accomplishments too small.

and if you relapse, you are strong. and you can do this.

I will try get back to as many people as I can and if you need message me on here.

if this doesn't work oh well, but id like to see it work.

Hope you are liking all the cute cat pictures! [v] here is your next clue, where can you introduce yourself if you're new to the subcommunity this month?

A few years. I rarely feel the need. Mostly, I've accepted the things I couldn't comprehend when I was younger and frustrated.

@QueenOfCrabs Celebrating the small steps is important because (and you may have heard this quote before) "a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"

Update: about 2 weeks maybe. I don't really know how many days actually. Should I start counting the days next time? So I know exactly how long I stayed clean.

@KatHellsing

I think if you are progressing from counting to days to weeks then counting in weeks is what you should do. That's great progress, Kat :)
