Congratulations Paris48! Each moment counts. That’s all we have: the moment. Years ago when I was at a meeting and shared, I said, “I wish there was a 5 minute chip.” The room practically applauded me for saying that.

Cherish every moment of your new life. If you have a slip, then get back up on your feet and enjoy your sobriety.

Good work. 😊

Best,

MZ

THIS IS HUGE! five minutes at a time....then 1/2 hour......

Every minute is precious.

Addiction is the hardest thing in the world to over come and YOU are doing FANTASTIC!

You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!

That is great. I think that it must be really tough for people who struggle with alcohol since it is so available and is shown in ads. Congratulations to you.

I have used it to deal with anxiety....need to find a different way to cope

Wow...go girl...clap, clap, clap...take your bow! My son lives with me & is an alcoholic, desires no help. I'm so so happy & proud of you! Love, joy, peace, light & hugs!!!

Addiction is a tough road, especially for those who love the addict. Make sure you take care of yourself too...I will cross my fingers that your son gains a desire to quit. Thanks for your encouraging words!
