My message on my now 10-year #sobriety journey:

Pink Cloud is driven to provide resources rooted in scientific evidence. The continued study of the mental health benefits of psilocybin, aka "shrooms", gives us hope. If you're a researcher, healthcare provider, etc. involved in this field, please send us a DM! We would love to talk 🍄‍🟫🙂.

Have you ever tried a new meeting and thought this when you found out they do a 15 minute meditation: What?! Who are these show offs?! I really picked the wrong meeting! Stay close. Lean into it.

Recently, we heard someone say: “We hit rock bottom, and when we looked around, we couldn’t find anything else to blame.” Accountability is the first step.

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

God does not make junk. We just need to get into acceptance for how God made us.

It would probably be a lot easier to stop drinking if it didn’t work so well in the beginning.

010

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

No one ever looked back at the end of their life and thought I wish I hadn’t gotten sober so young.

When you start the steps you’re beginning an internal house cleaning that has the potential to restore your soul.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When we make amends, the other person’s reaction is completely out of our control. We are concerned with our actions and taking responsibility for them.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You may never fully understand your higher power. That’s probably a good thing.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

What do you have to lose? If you’re anything like we were, there might not be much left.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

It took a while to hit bottom. Recovery happens fast. But it might not happen as fast as you want.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When all else fails, all you have to do is make it to the end of the day without taking a drink.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You know what would be really lucky on St. Patrick’s Day? Putting in the wrong address for the bar in your GPS and walking into your first AA meeting instead.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

The day you realize that it wasn’t a unique set of circumstances, the brand of alcohol, or just bad luck that got you into trouble is the day you take a step toward freedom and sobriety.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When you wake up in the morning, take a moment and enjoy the feeling of not being hung over.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

We help others both to be better people and because we know how much it helps us.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When someone asks you why you don’t drink, you don’t have an obligation to tell them anything.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You are about to embark on a wonderful journey during which you will learn things about yourself you have done everything to not know. In the process you will be set free.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

There will be a newcomer at the next meeting that would really benefit from someone saying hello. Find that person.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When we pray we humble ourselves and open up the possibility that something greater than us has a plan.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

We may not be able to repair all our relationships. But we can repair our relationship with ourselves and our higher power.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When you are new, even one minute without a drink can seem like forever. Keep coming. And give time time.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

If you feel like you need to impress your friends by keeping up with their drinking and partying, they might not be your friends.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Helping another alcoholic is the way we pay forward the gift that we have been given.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You can keep the walls up or you can let them down, accept help and get better.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Doing service is a way that we reinforce that we are not the center of the universe.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

We have been returned to soundness of body and mind. But that doesn’t mean we’re perfect. Don’t forget to cut yourself some slack.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

A drink might solve a problem you think you have right now. But think of all the other problems it will create.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Though we all came with different circumstances, we came for the same reason. As different as we are, we can support one another because we are the same.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

We always have an opportunity to become better people. Consider working the steps again as a New Year’s resolution.

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

One more time might be the last time. And not the getting sober kind of last time.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

The first time we go through the holidays sober is the toughest. It gets easier. Stay close and make sure to make a lot of meetings.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Plan for the holidays: 1. Have an escape plan. 2. Have an escape plan.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Sometimes the holidays can bring up a lot of the pain of our past. It’s important to remember to practice good self care and know when to take a break if you need it.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

The ego is a funny thing. It’s like a version of ourselves that we carry around with us while trying to convince everyone that it’s real.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Too young to get sober? Another couple of years at this rate probably isn’t going to make things any better.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When you can finally move past the wreckage your drinking has created, a wonderful new life starts to become available to you.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Did you see the sign at the end of Step 12? It says go back to Step 1.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Your higher power may be different from another person’s higher power. That’s ok. Just so long as it’s not alcohol.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

No one stands still in sobriety. You’re either getting closer to a drink or further from a drink. Which direction are you heading?

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Not everyone gets it the first time. It’s easy to look at the chronic relapser as someone who lacks will power. But remember we were all there in some form at one point.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You can always drink tomorrow. Just don’t drink today.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

It’s not too late. You can get started today. You can change your life.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

You will experience a moment when you realize that you’re not really giving anything up. You’re getting your life back.

000

Pink Cloud @pinkcloudapp.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

When you help someone else stay sober you increase your own chances of staying sober.
