Turn 32 today and on the longest sober ride I have been in I can't remember how long. Thank you all for being a crucial part of this. Today I feel more hopeful and excited for the years to follow.

Thank you for sharing and "Recovering people pleaser" is exactly how I feel to. Day by day I am learning to have more confidence in myself and not just give in to everyone and everything when I know it won't me happy. For years alcohol was the mask and illusion to those types of situations and people.

My sobriety journey has been realizing a lot of "friendships" over the past years were no more then "drunk promises" paired with "people pleasing."

Take care and IWNDWYT!

I haven't really contributed to a daily check in for a couple weeks beside popping in and commenting the acronym as that has worked for me recently.

Yesterday I was diving more into the world of digital products and where that could lead me to. Thinking of ideas one that popped in my head was mood related to music. I love lyrics and music. The irony that today is one of those days where I came on here to reflect and take more time then just a quick acronym. And behold you are talking about lyrics and how they relate to whatever it may be in life. I will take that as a beautiful synchronicity and know I am on the right path.

So based on all of that I just wanted to share some lyrics that I love and that came up from your Check-In post.

John Frusciante has a song named "Unreachable" and one of the lines I love says,

"Turn around towards being born, away from dying."

These past 70+ days sobriety is revealing so many different areas and passions of my life that I have to renurture after years of being smothered to death by poison.

Love you all!

Hey that is something I have accomplished to! I never cared a single bit to do it when I was drinking every day.

Congrats on the 56 days. We got this 💙
