I've been taking a step on my path every day, have stayed clean for a long time, and am staying in therapy! I've made it through a lot

I passed the AL2 course and got my master badge! Moving onto AL3!! ♥️

I am giving at least 50% of my effort to not procrastinate even though it is very hard!

When I start to dance, my fears can't keep up with me and my energy!

2022 is going marvelous for me so far.

I'm working to push myself past OCD hangups when I'm trying to clean my room, few times recently I pushed myself in which it worked out for me.

I realized I can be there for others but also take care of myself

Finished the Community Building Course!

Just completed my Active Listening III test! Crossing my fingers!

I learned while listening, from the many different kinds of people who come here for support, that there is no one way to address the same issue. Three people may be struggling from depression brought on by work issues, but each individual needs a different approach depending on who they are and how they reach out. My hardest listening session was with someone who knew they needed to talk, but didn't know how to. This is hard enough in person, but over the computer it seemed almost impossible. When I finally had him talking and crying even, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and just felt good. I did not help them work out there issues, they still had them when they left the conversation, but I gave them a place to open up and get some emotions out, and that can be bigger then we can even imagine.
