What little victories do you celebrate?

When I am patient with my daughter. I am also very proud of the times when I see my daughter feeling content, happy, or safe.

Being alive

Angelks2323

it’s not easy, so it’s definitely worth congratulating yourself for. Hope you keep doing and finding the things that keep you around ❤️

Ash.G

I celebrate everything. Even if I have to celebrate alone because no-one else seems to see my small improvements.

Angelks2323

1y ago

I can relate, and it feels lonely. But you’re very strong for recognizing and praising your own progress. I believe you’ll find people who appreciate your hard work and presence ❤️

Jazzy78

All of them! Anything that is a 1% improvement or more. Considering I couldn't walk or talk properly 4 years ago I'm so happy to celebrate anything.

I have been trying not to be so self critical and do self care for myself. I have celebrated getting medication for my ADHD and I had an intake appointment for therapy. The next goal I have is learning to live myself more and to be less negative in general.

Getting through rape and abuse from the ones I thought I could trust, how strong I've become despite all that's happened from it & currently realising that it stuffed up my life quite a bit and moving past it, taking it as a lesson in my everyday life

Remembering to get a little exercise in, like a short walk with the dog, or some squats (with support, don’t have the balance otherwise). Also, remembering not to overdo it when I do so. 🙃

Things like getting out of bed, drinking water, dedicating to hygienic and skin care routines. I have my days where I feel like I don't have time or I just feel dead inside.

Getting up, getting dressed, brushing my teeth... Doing things I need to do for other people online and taking a shower at night. It's not enough for some people but it is for me.

kmkrs

1y ago

brushing my teeth. getting up, being a little productive instead of not at all. resting. feeling myself emerge on the other side of a dark tunnel :} everything ebbs and flows, the victories will come (or maybe you’re making them right now.)

Being able to do my full shower and skincare routine is definitely a victory for me. Most days I'm lucky to just be able to shampoo and condition my hair.

SalineTurnip

I celebrate all small victories. Putting away clothes, showering, making myself a cup of coffee, engaging in hobbies. Even getting out of bed is celebrated. (Getting on this app counts too.)

NanN

1y ago

Wow... this is me as well. The smallest of activity, on my bad days are huge. If I get a good day in a week it's such a blessing. I push myself to do things, like go to the physical therapy pool, and just be in the warm water. Really, just being alive from one day to the next is pretty amazing.

archerinnit

1y ago

I wake up in the morning. And I'm able to get up some mornings. It isn't always easy, especially with the way things are going at the moment, but I know that not many people can do that. And to those who arent able to, I'm rooting for you. You deserve so much love for waking up and I'm so proud of you 💕💕💕💕💕💕

When I'm house-sitting and the cat that is supposedly more shy comes to purr in my lap- especially when she did that when I was feeling down about myself. Reminded me that even though I struggle animals still seem to like me and I see that as a huge win.

canadaisntreal

1y ago

it can be hard for me to celebrate my victories, but things like brushing teeth, taking a shower (especially one that’s not 30 minutes long), getting out of bed before 11:30 on weekends, or doing even a little bit of schoolwork.

Being comfortable with myself to leave the house. I used to ve very embarrassed leaving my house because I have mildly severe Tics and use mobility aids and the general public was a place I felt very unsafe, but I've gotten better and have pushed myself to go out more and enjoy life as best I can givin I have all of my medical tools/meltdown items with me and I always go out with another person to make it easier, and I can feel at leaste some safety.

This is TMI but when my IBS-M doesn’t act up LMAO. If I keep a very careful diet everything works just fine and it’s 100000x better than the C or D

I would love to know how you celebrate sober if you feel comfortable sharing, it's something I've really struggled with & find my go too's are sugar & spending sprees, which aren't always healthy for me.
