To change things up a bit, I'll do a small share.

I've started reading Russell Brand's recovery book - I'm not sure how I feel about the guy, not that it matters, but I reached the point pretty early on where he shares his version of the 12 steps. I found it to be insightful and digestible, a good read for anyone who's wary of AA/NA or needs an informal/approachable way of understanding the steps.

It's not for everyone, and he drops the f bomb pretty consistently, but I wanted to share in case anyone needs to hear it. What are your thoughts?

*Note: if it's appearing very small on your screen as it is on mine, right click and open image in a new tab for a better look.

Introducing Sunday Shares, a thread dedicated to reflection and sharing. Here, we can come together to discuss the challenges and triumphs we've encountered throughout the week.

Great news! This has been long overdue in BC.

Hey, thanks for joining, it's good to have you here. I hope we can build a welcoming and supportive community :)

 

Welcome to Sobriety!

As the creator of this space, I saw the need for a dedicated drug and alcohol use support community on Lemmy, and I'm grateful for the chance to be a part of it.

While I may be new to this platform, I am committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and lively community. Together, we will create a space where individuals who have faced challenges with drug and alcohol use can find solace, understanding, and encouragement.

This community is about sharing our stories, celebrating triumphs, and supporting each other through the ups and downs. No matter where you are on your journey, whether it's day 1 or day 1,000, your experiences and presence are valuable and respected. Your courage in taking steps towards a better life is truly commendable.

Let's build a community where we uplift and inspire one another, creating an atmosphere of unwavering support. I am thrilled to be on this journey of recovery with you.

Welcome again, and we're glad you're here.

Hey, I just went through this process too and it was a little confusing. I was able to type in the name of the instance I signed up on and it worked.
