List of the most popular hashtags for theme #RECOVERYCOMMUNITY

Celebrate your accomplishments today and every day. And when my patients come in feeling shame for being 0 days clean, I tell them it's okay because they're showing up asking for help and support to learn from and to overcome each relapse on their path to sobriety.

Listen to your body. Listen to your gut. Sometimes you feel nauseous. Sometimes jittery. Sometimes like a scared cat on the ceiling. Give in and listen-don’t push it down.

♡ YOU ARE NEVER ALONE ♡ The internet told me that 40 million American human beans struggle with a substance addiction, and I was one of those human beans. Except... I felt alone while going through it, and then I felt alone again when I came out on the other side. I lost friends, because I couldn’t safely be around paraphernalia, and couldn’t hang with the crowds I used to. One day I realized the recovery community was an entirely new one for me, full of humans I could connect with. Maybe none of my old friends wanted to watch sunrises with me and drink kombucha and hug strangers on a boat at 5:30AM (see my stories), but I have friends now who do. Friends, know that whatever struggle boat you’re in, there are always going to be others with you. Luv u @dybrkr, thanks for reminding me how rad this community is + making my biggest smile happen every month♡

I have a confession to make. I got drunk at my wedding six years ago. No one wants to see a sloppy drunk bride, and no one wants to only have fuzzy memories from the biggest day of their life. And yet... there I was. A few friends and my newly minted husband made me drink water like it was my job and cut me off from any more alcohol, but to say I’m still embarrassed with the fact that the one part of the wedding I regret the most is something completely my own doing brings so much shame. Last night I attended my first wedding sober. An event that lasted about eight hours and alcohol was being thrust at everyone from the very first moment. And i think. No wonder. I watched the bride get handed drink after drink, constantly getting topped off, and I think... no wonder. Toast after toast. The pre party. The post ceremony cocktail party. The four hour dinner. The dance party after. No wonder. And today, I decided to give myself some grace. That my wedding day that got fuzzy at the end. For the regret and shame I’ve felt for six years. Weddings revolve around booze. And for someone who can’t stop at one, it is a feast of regrets just waiting to happen. And I wonder why. Why do we need so much drinking to celebrate a magical occasion? Why do we cater to this culture, encourage it, insist on it really? This isn’t a one or two glasses of wine occasion. This is a binge drinking opportunity presented on a platter. Is it to make sure everyone has fun? And why do we need massive quantities of alcohol to have fun? To all the brides who got drunk on their wedding night. I want to say.... you were supposed to. This culture we live in thrives on making sure everyone else is drinking hard to validate our own drinking. And it works. And at a wedding? Your damned if you do, damned if you don’t. And no wonder.

I attended a kids birthday party for someone in my son's pre-kindergarten class. At a trampoline park, it was every bit the chaos you would expect with 20 five years old running around and literally bouncing off the walls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The host mom started to coyly pass out drinks to the parents amidst the chaos. It looked like orange juice but she was giving winks and head nods that this was just for the moms and dads. Having quit drinking a while back, I declined but in years past I would have made a beeline to her the second I heard the words "mommy juice."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the past, the idea of alcohol at a kids birthday party never made me think twice. Why can't parents have fun at their kid's parties? After all, we are doing all the work and it's as much a celebration for us as it is for them. It wasn't until a year a half ago, when I quit drinking for good, did I realize alcohol has infused itself into everything. It's at every party. Every picnic. Every social gathering has a wine bar or keg and a line going halfway down the block of people eager to partake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it makes me wonder, what kind of message does this send our kids? That alcohol is critical to a good time? That a party isn't complete without booze? Maybe. And as someone who realizes I have a toxic relationship with alcohol, that is absolutely the wrong message I want my kids to grow up on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ READ THE FULL PIECE ON FACEBOOK.
