Before the awful festivities of tomorrow's holiday, I wanted to take a moment to reflect, as it will mark 17 years of #sobriety for me, personally.

It's been a tough road, and 45/47 definitely has made the past decade rough as all hell. But I keep showing up, one day at a time.

My health has declined since the first COVID infection in 2022, but even with these symptoms, it's a world of difference being sober. My liver and kidneys aren't constantly filtering poison from my body, and after 17 years of time off, maybe they're doing pretty great. Take a look at the before and after photos below...70 extra lbs is a lot to carry!

If you are questioning whether you need to stop drinking, or picking up that drug of choice: Don't lie to yourself. It's incredibly easy to lie to yourself, very difficult and admirable to reject lying to yourself in this moment.

If I can do this, you can do this. Stay strong. Stay alive.

Here's to tomorrow's challenges, which I will face like I did today's: With effort, but also resolve

Time for an #Introduction post. I’m a #liveaboard #sailor (www.svloka.com) and full time #nomad who is also a #creative #artist. I play #guitar, #crochet, paint (#watercolor & #acrylic), and draw #penandink. I love #yoga and use #meditation to manage my #anxiety. Got #sober in 2020.

I am a recovering #softwareengineer (#programmer) and #ITmanager. I focused a lot on #leadership & effective #communication, and I still enjoy #mentoring people on those topics. I still tinker with tech on occasion.

Today's been a hard day for a whole lot of unrelated reasons. First time I wanted to drink in a long time.

But I didn't. And I haven't for almost 8 years. And that's something to be proud of. IWNDWYTD

I can’t fathom staring at the bottom of an empty bottle of any kind in 2025

And…

I am fucking grateful to be 19 years clean and sober today. I had a wild night in northern Croatia before getting on a 12-hr overnight bus ride on the old coastal highway February 9th, 2006, that was a shit choice to be loaded for. I was 21.

You don’t have to wait for tomorrow y’all. Grateful for today #ottawa #sober

Oh and more regular therapy. I ebb and flow between every 2-4 weeks but I think every 2 weeks is going to go strong for the next while. This will be the 10th year of EMDR therapy and it saved my life in so many ways and very grateful for that relationship. I dunno, connection with people we love in real life takes a lotta work but it all strips down to commmnity at the end of the day #ottawa #canada #sober #therapy

hello! new intro post since it's been a while!

my name is maren and I'm stillgreenmoss on the internet. I live in asheville NC in the US, a beautiful and frustrating place in the Appalachian mountains. most of my work is place-based here in asheville

I recently quit my job to focus on starting @bunkcomputer with two other amazing cooperators

I help @firestorm with sysadmin-ish work -- I'm a friend and not a member of the coop

I'm a trans woman and very glad for it, despite the horrors

computing and its discontents is the dominant public activity in my life, though I do also love techno and breakcore and acid and house music and and and -- do you know where the rave is? please tell me where the rave is

i spent most of the last 7 years working in big, corporate tech jobs. I think that those are pretty broken places and I hope to never go back. if the computer coop doesnt work out, I daydream about becoming a civil engineer

if you live in asheville or western NC or the rest of NC or southern Appalachia and you care about building a better world of computing, I literally want to talk to you so bad, please reach out

thanks for reading, fedi4life, plur, etc, ❤️

Sober friends! Tom Holland of Spider-man fame has a new NA beer brand called Bero and I was able to grab some this weekend. Target carries it, making it easier to find consistently than most!

There is a pils, a wheat and an IPA and all three are great. This might be the best mainstream competition to Athletic.

C’mon in, Dry January Folks! Some of us are here all the time!
