200 Days Drugs Free Today, On My Way To My First Day Of College
Former meth addict here. I used for more than a decade. Five years clean this month. You can do ANYTHING when you don't rely on drugs for a crutch. I wish you the best, friend. You have a very bright future ahead of you.
Some ppl hear 200 days and they’re like “That’s pretty good”, but for us that were addicts at one time, we know even 30 days is quite an achievement. Congratulations on your current and future achievements.
every moment, every single day is a battle. to wake up each morning and choose health, happiness, flourishing. freedom. every day is a step away from the suffering. you're completely right. those first few days/weeks are the hardest and i commend everyone that fights it out to get through each day. 30 days is amazing. 200 days is astronomical. something you can't even fathom when stuck in the addiction, or just starting to get clean. almost a year released from that evil. i hope you're doing great, feeling happy, surrounded by love and support, thriving, and truly living your life. i'm proud of you for taking care of you, friend♥️

Load More Replies...A Year Ago My Wife Left Me And My Girls
I finally got the finalized divorce papers in the mail today! That means I officially have custody of my two tiny monsters! I’ve also lost over 70lbs in the last year, working to get healthy and watch these two grow up. Haven’t been this happy in forever.
(Edit to say sorry flutterbyy I commented on the wrong spot! Have an upvote) Ignore below comments about “oh it was probably the dad’s fault because the mom did this or the mom did that or the wife probably _____.” It’s exhausting, why are we doing this ——I see your story OP and I’m raising a glass for you, “HER LOSS.” :) Good job dad, good father, good luck with your cute tiny monsters.
Load More Replies...I personally can't understand people choosing to walk away from their kids. My kids are my world.
i understand where you're coming from, but not everyone is cut out to be a parent. i'm glad when those who know they don't want their kids, won't be good parents, don't want to care and provide etc. can recognise and acknowledge it and give the kid up to the other parent, for adoption or whatever. it saves the kid from a lifetime of trauma, heartbreak, feeling unwanted/worthless - instead they get loving parent(s) who want them. these angels are free of a mother that doesn't want them, raised in love, acceptance, nurturing, happiness, security. i wish society didn't force parenthood and shame ppl who don't want to partake, inferring it as bad and malicious when it's actually a kindness, beneficial for everyone involved. instead, facilitating such decisions so all kids get the great upbringing and loving home they deserve. far better than the pain and guilt forced on parent and child. it's a win-win situation

To find out more about this uplifting corner of Reddit known as “the Happy Reddit,” Bored Panda spoke with its moderator N8theGr8 who happily shared some insights into the community with our readers. The moderator said that although he wasn’t there when the sub was created back in 2008 (which is pretty impressive by Reddit’s standards), he has been along for “the ride for a while at this point.”
“When I joined, there weren't really any automated processes running on that subreddit, so we had to deal with fights and brigades manually,” N8theGr8 recounted. He added a few filters to cut down on that, and “it's helped the subreddit hum along without much in the way of needing to actually step in to mod it, which I think helps ensure a community as free from outside interference as possible.”

Yes. My mom got cancer years ago when I was little so I don't remember it but she is completely recovered and fine. My teacher had cancer a year ago and had to get chemo therapy. She is doing well though. Dreams words when Technoblade died: F***k cancer.

That's lovely. Around a year after I lost my wife, I was looking for a pen. Her handbag was still where she had left it. She always had pens so I decided to try it. First pen I found, never seen it before, had "always there" written on the side. Not ashamed to say that I had "a moment"!
that's incredible! a huge sign sent down from the heavens, and your wife still being her incredible self even after leaving our realm. i can't imagine the pain of losing your life-partner. it's one of my biggest innate fears. you are an incredible pillar of strength and resilience. i truly hope you're doing better. wishing you a lifetime of contentment and happiness. i hope you find her on the other side and get an eternity together♥️

If it gives comfort, I'm not going to say anything. Sometimes you have to tell yourself stories. I don't believe it myself, but I've had "moments" and they do comfort, even when you know it's a combination of sadness and wishful thinking on a biscuit of coincidence

And in this difficult time, the Happy community on Reddit which is home to 475k members seems to be as relevant as ever. “I think it's good to be able to just have a spot where you can unwind to celebrate and focus on small victories and uplifting positive content,” he added.
The moderator said that the community “certainly has new people joining every day, and it's always nice to find someone who is happy to be able to have a small sanctuary of positivity.” This reflects in the subreddit’s description too: “Too many depressing things on the main page, so post about what makes you warm and fuzzy inside!”

I Got Full Custody Of My Son Seven Years Ago And This Week We Finally Got Our Own Place Together!
When asked how N8theGr8 himself stays resilient to negativity, the moderator said that he gets regular exercise and has other hobbies. Aside from that, “and at the end of the day, I just assume that everyone being overly negative on the internet has their own problems and I figure that they're just yelling because they don't really view their computer screen as a person, so basically, I give people the benefit of the doubt.”
Spent My Entire Life In A Church That Brainwashed Me Into Following Their Dogma
I wasted my time "Working" for them when I should have been getting an education. I am happy to announce that I finally got the guts to leave, moved across the country, and at 22 years old, I'm going back to university.
And so brave. That takes a lot of guts after being brainwashed.. WOW
Load More Replies...Yes!!! Get some! That takes more courage than just about anything, I’m so proud of you!
Any thing that does that isn't aligning itself with anything good. You go I'm very proud of you you have broken something else than drugs or alcohol. It's a shame what crimes are committed in God's Name. I always think of Jesus kicking over the moneychangers takes after plaiting a whip to hit them with. I would have loved to have seen that. You go son, you are going to be fine.
Crimes in God's name? Rape, slavery, religious warfare and genocide were endorsed by God within the Old Testamnent. I wouldn't use Him as the morality measuring stick.
Load More Replies...I have a feeling that it may be Morman just because they mentioned being employed by then, however, I could be wrong.
Load More Replies...I am so happy for you! I experienced the same thing. They had us believing that if we left our lives would end up in the gutter. Wrong! My life ended up so much better than I ever dreamed. I make my own decisions. NO ONE will ever run me again. All the best to you.
Glad you got away from that negativity. Takes nerve to walk away. Keep walking son,, follow your own path.

Such beauty and joy she beheld! She realized now, life could begin again!!
N8theGr8 continued: “I support a lot of progressive policies, so I get attacked by Redditors a lot on this platform, but I view the effort as important enough that I can weather a few mean people on the internet. I do my best to address and reduce negativity in my life, from within and without. I try to keep in mind that there are things I can change, and things that I cannot, so I do my best to try to be able to tell the difference and act accordingly,” he concluded in an interview with Bored Panda.

My Son Is Autistic. The Best Part Of My Day Is The 20 Minute Night Time Routine With All His Stuffed Animals

For anyone who doesn't know, this is Mark Rober. He's a super cool YouTuber whose an ex NASA scientist and worked on the Mars Rover. His videos are really fun science experiments and he is THE KING of squirrel mazes!

this particularly touched me. i have a severely autistic brother. amazingly he understands 2 languages but he can't communicate. can't do basic self-care w/o aid + instruction, can't go anywhere independently, needs constant stimulation + protecting from sensory overload. left alone, he'd starve/die of thirst in our home bc he just DOES NOT know to instinctively eat + drink. i love him w everything in me. he's my whole life. he understands humour + sarcasm. hearing him laugh at sth is magic. after countless yrs + even more techniques, we found some buzzwords so he can communicate. he now tells me some basics like "bathroom" "need to eat" "watch tv" + his lit FAVE: "skincare". my boy's a skincare WHIZ. knows dermatology lvl products + methods. reprimands me if i forget sth from our complex 20step night routine that i live for. seeing him light up at sth, his happiness + progress is euphoric. i strive for wealth so i can provide the life of luxury, support + top tier skincare he deserves

You can do this. I promise it gets better, just hang in there one day, hour, minute, second at a time. Soon, a week or a month or a year will go by without you even thinking about going back. It's not always perfect, but it's always better than when you drank/used. Speaking from experience.

My Incredible Father Got Up And Stood On His Own Today!! And He Took 7 Steps And My Heart Is So Happy (Heart Aneurism And Stroke)
When I was in the rehabilitation hospital (back surgery), I noticed that a number of patients were carrying around a heart pillow. I learned that it's not uncommon for doctors to "prescribe" them for cardiac patients. Apparently, they provide noticeable relief from post-surgery pain. Here's a link that explains why. https://www.genesishcs.org/news-search/heart-pillows-pressure-can-reduce-pain-cardiac-patients
I can tell you that my little heart shaped pillow was my best friend for the first 6 months after my surgery and I carried it with me everywhere I went. You don't even realize how much pressure your chest takes just by doing every day things. Sitting down. Getting up. Getting into and out of bed. Coughing and laughing were the worst.

im here for years now but i never made an account or commented. in this case i wanna say that i am so happy for you. You look soooo beautiful! Im 32 and still struggling with akne. sometimes it gets better, sometimes its worse... so i really feel you!
So many women s**t shamed for using birth control for acne, cramps, and to not have a baby. I had to wait until I got to college to go on pills for my monthly excruciating cramps - missed one to two days of school every month beginning when I was 10. What is wrong with people denying medicating for these issues?
Because Endometriosis is pretty much a fictional disease to most doctors... Excruciating cramps are "just normal", and not in anyway almost always attributed to undiagnosed Endo...
Load More Replies...I don't know if this works for adult acne, but my mother gave me brewers yeast pills when I was a teenager to prevent acne and it worked beautifully. Then when my own children were teens, at the first sight of acne, I bought big bottles of brewer's yeast and, taking 6 to 8 pills a day, their acne cleared within a few days and stayed gone, as long as they didn't forget to take them every day. My daughter's friends would ask how she kept her skin so clear; I started keeping multiple bottles to give away to them. Some had been seeing dermatologists, with their parents paying a fortune for special meds that weren't working- their skin also cleared up within about 10 days. I'm not sure why it works so well, but maybe because of the high concentration of vitamin B complex?
I wonder if trying a different kind would help? The standard estrogen pill destroys my skin, made my PMDD worse, made my hair oilier, etc. Changed to a progestin and estrogen combination pill (with a slightly extended active pill cycle) and it cleared my skin, regulated my cycle, fixed the PMDD. Some people have more sucess with progestin only pills. I didn’t know at first that there were different hormone options and dosages that could affect people so vastly differently. Kinda crazy.

Since bringing Mia into my life just one week ago, I’ve felt more happiness and peace than I ever thought possible. With her by my side, I know 26 will be my best year yet.
I had severe anxiety and so did my dog- she went from home to home and no one could handle her. But I did. She and I made each other calmer and happy :)
I'm going through something extremely difficult right now and struggling with depressed feeling more than I have in a long while. It's intensely hard. But I do keep noticing how having my two kitties around is helping. One lay on me and purred in bed this morning. They blink at me slowly with their big eyes lol, so when I got up to feed them I finally bothered to get some food for myself too. And they're just super soft!
Sent to you from above. Sent to love you. There's no love like the love of an animal. For me, it's a dog. But, there's just something about that purring and those eyes, oh yeah!

Where I come from it is considered polite to ask the parents of the bride. It is just a formality, no parents in their right mind would say no and no bride-to-be would listen to them. My husband first asked me and then he went to ask my parents' blessing. I imagine this would be a similar situation.

Anyway, it's pretty warm in the UK today and our delivery guy looked as though he might benefit from having an ice cold Diet Coke. He was more grateful for the drink than for the tip and thanked me seven times as he returned to his car, whilst repeatedly pointing at the sky and wiping his brow. With a huge smile on his face, of course! I actually got the idea from a thread on BP about delivery drivers and small gestures that mean a lot so thanks BP! (I imagine our delivery guy would say thanks several times as well).
You are a lovely person, $cagsy. It was hot today and supposed to get hotter next week.

I am so thankful my grandparents emigrated to the US, otherwise I'd have had to have grown up in... *shudder*.... Sussex.
What's wrong with Sussex. It's a beautiful place.

One of the things I love most about those pages the amount of diversity and acceptance within the posts. Lesbians can get married and they’re celebrated without a bunch of BS homophobia jumping in the comments.
Just covering up some BS homophobia jumping in the comments.

Very much agree!! A lot of happy tears and smiles!!! 😁😃. Great posts!!
Load More Replies...Such a lovely positive set of posts! I read through them all with a wide smile on my face.
This was a wonderful page.i loved the posts, but the love and support in the comments was amazing.
Just today I met a girl who was non verbal. She used a talker thing to say what she wanted. After frustration from both of us and lots of a robotic voice saying “cherry dog cherry dog cherry dog outside” I figured out what she wanted, also, she’s smart too! We have decent conversations and I’m so proud of her and myself for figuring out a way to communicate
Pay me a month's worth in advance, and I'll consider it.
