Every part of our life teaches us… if we listen to the lessons… Even in the midst of some of my worst days… I learned how to survive… I’m kinda proud of the me I’ve become in sobriety… but I wouldn’t be “me” if I weren’t “her” in the past… #sobersky

The 4th step isn't a light topic... it gets to the heart of why we were the way we were... and how it affects us even now... Peeling back that onion can reveal some painful truths that we have been hiding for years... even from ourselves. It's challenging... but cleansing for the soul... #sobersky

I’m grateful for the wisdom contained in the recovery community… Even in social media… where an anonymous thread between two people can have be meaningful to my mental health… We never have to walk the #sobriety path alone… You can’t rely on it as your only option… but it’s a great tool for support!

I think I make it sound like my #sobriety is a sure thing… it’s not. I have moments where the idea of checking out seems so… intense … so tempting… …but they’re just moments… and they pass… I don’t have to struggle with them alone though… I have a sponsor. I trust her with my life… #sobersky

Just left a dinner that turned into a party like I used to do… Ppl got upset that I was leaving… but I have to prioritize my own mental health over ppl I barely know getting angry… This is what sobriety looks like in my life… Owning the moment.. knowing what’s right for me isn’t always the easy path

this is a story she does not want told... a story all to her own... a story of her own pain... a story of shame and sorrow and struggle... This is one of the most intimate ...voyeuristic... images I've ever seen... no judgement... just an anonymous presentation of the hidden truth of her reality...

Amy Chen / 陳阿美 @soberamie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The friendships I’ve developed in #sobriety are built around a common feeling of love… So many of the ppl I thought were friends were just one way vacuums of energy… emotion… time… and money… …but to build these true healthy relationships, I have to see my own worth first… which can be a challenge!

TBF… in my early 20s… fueled by a blend of alcohol and various cocktails of narcotics… hallucinogens… and a nice mixture of abusive and manipulate partners… I tried. Even with all that… it was a struggle. Like you said… it was a 5 year bottom.. that I’ll pay for over decades of sobriety.

Letting go of resentment is hard… especially when it’s one of your best friends… I think she’d be devastated to find out I even think about it… it’s all just a reflection of my own insecurities… My #recovery process has truly opened my eyes to a lot of things I didn’t realize about myself. #sobersky

Acceptance is the key…. I watched dozens of vids on it… but I have to accept.. I cannot properly fold a fitted sheet… I’ll just wad them up in the closet and peace and serenity will be mine!! …until I open the closet and see them wadded up on the shelf. Adulting is hard.

Thank you to all who responded to support me and tell me I'm not alone... that REALLY means a lot! Guys... It's just hormones... or as the French say... Le petit clown avec un nez qui saigne... ..the little clown with a nosebleed.. Now I can't stop laughing... I will be fine... THANK YOU...

Sometimes… life just gets a bit harder. The world gets a little worse… I feel it more… women in recovery have an additional set of challenges to face… I’m aware of it happening… I feel it coming… and I’m powerless to avoid it… I feel myself falling and I can’t hold on hard enough. #depression

Some friendships fade in #sobriety… They were invested in who you once were… New ones form around the person you are becoming…. I’ve not outgrown them… I’ve just changed… It reveals something about who you are…. and who your true self is… I’m starting to like her…

In #sobriety I’ve learned that it doesn’t much matter what others think of me… that’s one of the hardest lessons… I’ve always been so concerned about doing and saying things that I think ppl want to hear that I sometimes forget who I truly am on the inside. “To thine on self be true”… is hard.

The more I look through older images of myself, the less I see the distance between she and I…. She knew life was beautiful but the world wasn’t… she just didn’t understand how to live with that… #sobriety has taught me is that life isn’t a problem with a solution… It can’t be solved… …only accepted

So much of my life has been spent thinking "I shouldn't like that..." when... in fact... I really did. I found such relief when I just let go and gave myself permission to enjoy life...

“We had to give up fighting everyone and everything”… That’s such a tall order (I can’t go through with it!) I can’t make the world behave like I want it to… I had to learn that #acceptance is the key to serenity. That doesn’t mean I like it… I just can’t change it. #sobersky #sobriety #peace

Hello, I am Amy... I am an alcoholic and addict. 4 years ago, I went out clubbing like I had done hundreds of times before... just another Friday night.. My life was a world of chaos and confusion. I was broken inside in ways that I could not have considered... everything was about to change. #sober

The more I understand about the people who have supported me... unconditionally... the more I see what the the living definition of "love" is... I am so blessed to have them in my life... I can't imagine going through life without them. I got clean and sober.. but I didn't do it alone. #sobriety

I had an excellent “ladies” day with my grandmother, great aunt, mother, aunts, cousins… and my sisters and nieces… four generations of #women in my family enjoying the moment… for no reason other than we can These ladies have seen so much…loved and lost… hurt and healed…and still have love to give.

Sober holiday weekends just feel different… I just said no to a high pressure invite for a day on a guy’s HUGE boat… a floating, drunken… rowdy nekkid party … instead I’m having lunch with my mother, sister and her family… Though I’m just wondering if this is sobriety… or am I just an adult now?

One week to go… Four years #sober It’s one day at a time… …but I’ve been in places where four hours sober was impossible… four days? Crazy talk.. four months? No way… …and here I am… just short of four years… I’ve changed… in so many ways… all of them for the better!

PROTIP: When going to your parent's house to take a dip in their pool because they are out of town... take a wide range of #bikinis (of varying modesty levels) because you never know when your sister is having a pool party for her 6 year olds classmates (and their parents) #nonudes today!
