just wanted to say I showered today for the first time in a month.

I think it would be helpful for some people if this site specifically had a thread/forum similar to congrats like I'm five on reddit. If there's already something like that on here someone pls link it for me and I'll edit this post.

please post/reply with something, anything, that you deserve a pat on the back for. any win is a win regardless of what size 💜💜

Great job! I did the same thing yesterday, and today I've eaten three meals for the first time in an eternity.

I don't know why it is "wrong" to congratulate other adults in a way that makes them feel proud of their achievements. It's like only children get this reinforcement (When they do get it) while adults are left to get progressively worse mentally until they become president or something.

Anyway, mama bear will always be proud of any hardships the cubs in here go, because mama knows how hard life is. I love all of you and you all deserve encouragement towards being better and feeling better *bear hug* 🧸

Showing up for yourself is always worth celebrating, even if it's just to make a phone call.

I practiced two foreign language alphabets today. The most goal oriented activity I've engaged in in a few months.

Great job! Even the concept of that sounds daunting to me, so the fact that you did it is awesome.

Best part is I did it by playing computer games for hours lol.
Whatever the method, you did it, and that's an achievement that should be celebrated. 🧸

CONGRATUALTIONS!

It is always the first steps in recovery, and you are a WINNER!

You show just not only how wonderful you are, and also you are a shining example to/for others, FANTASTIC!

Having you as family on here and seeing your accomplishment is as good as any pian killers that I use for my chronic pain.

Bright blue sunny skies and caring and loving thoughts to you.

I can't even understand what I'm looking at when reading Cyrillic! That's a major power move, good job! Languages are hard, but you go even harder! 🧸

I love these threads (I've only found this and the other celebrate small wins one, but they are both so great).

I took the dog to the park today even though I was a mess and really not coping and she got to play with her friends.

Look at you, even at edge, going out so your dog can be healthier. The love you have for her is larger than the pain inside. Honey, we call this strength, and that is what you are: strong and capable. I'm proud of you, you deserve a bear hug! *hugs* 🧸

Oh, honey pot, you're welcome. Mama bear loves to be sweet to those in need. Sometimes, the only thing someone in pain needs is the comfort of warm words. It may not be much, but just by reading it, your brain is processing it, and when you realize it, mama's in your head, hugging every one of those tired neurons.

You're special and you deserve the love. Keep being yourself, little cub. *hugs and kisses* 🧸
