That's quite the accomplishment! That first year is hell but so worth it. I'm 15 years sober now and wouldn't trade it for anything. Keep up the great work. I, like many others, are very, very proud of you!

I basically make about $6,000-$8,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it

I know how you feel. Despite knowing I am loved, it seems that the majority of my adulthood milestones and achievements have been celebrated alone or without the support of friends and family. I think that it has led me to better appreciate the concept of a higher power and the knowledge that each day I'm given the strength to not give in to the horrible chronic physical pain and corresponding mental anguish and depression is a WIN quietly celebrated with that power,

I was a flaming alcoholic. That's what I called it. I wished I could have recognized that in myself. Instead I denied it and told everyone that they didn't know what they were talking about. Then I'd go home and get drunk. Smashed. Obliterated. I even got demoted in the USAF and still denied, or couldn't recognize, that I was an alcoholic. It takes a very BRAVE person to identify it in oneself, and then deal with it. I drank my entire youth away (and continued until around 45) and now it's the biggest regret of my life.

You're not alone. I was a raging alcoholic. So much damage. I was the last one to know. Everyone kept telling me, arresting me, kicking me out, firing me. Shits good now. My worst days sober are far better than any day drunk, delusional, depressing. Did have some fun, and fun stories. I don't want to die in a gutter.

It made me sad to hear that you don't have anyone to celebrate with. I don't know whether this person is a future romantic partner, a friend, or an animal, but someone out there is perfect for you, and needs you, and with a bit of perseverance and a dose of luck, you will find them. Good luck, and congratulations.

I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently

I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently

A-A-ron98 Report

When you finish going through the pictures, there are more things you can do to make your day a little brighter. Sarah Helen King, psychologist and founder of Invigorise, told Bored Panda that practicing gratitude can do wonders for us.

"Keep a gratitude diary near you and each day just spend a few minutes thinking about one thing you are grateful for, and write it down," Sarah suggested. "Then, whenever you are having a bad day, whip it out and read it. Instant mood enhancer."

For Those Who Step Up

For Those Who Step Up

My parents split when I was in first grade. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house. He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn’t make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my mom’s boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice.

Mark ended up working 3 jobs while having heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. He did everything he could to provide for my sister and I. He passed away 6 days before I graduated college in 2016. It’s been a few years but I still have trouble on Father’s Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didn’t have enough income. But he didn’t. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.

No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through

No Matter How Hard It Is, You Have To Try To Push Through

eric_clapp Report

But when it comes to news, the psychologist believes the only way to stop it from bothering us is to simply not watch it. "This has been hugely effective for many of my clients in minimizing anxiety in their day-to-day lives," she explained.

"As an alternative suggestion though, give yourself a daily time (e.g 6 pm) and limit (10 minutes) where you will catch up with the day's events. If you are prone to anxiety, steer clear of clicking on headlines that you know will be a trigger for you, and then after do something you enjoy, like go for a walk in nature or phone a friend for a catch-up and steer the conversation to something positive that happened in the day."

Another good alternative is The Happy Broadcast by Mauro Gatti, an illustration project that showcases some of the most positive news from around the world.

I was in rehab for a broken back. A golden retriever climbed in bed with me. I was so moved I cried. I'd be overjoyed if a horse came to visit. Peyo is magnificent.

Why would a kid be expelled for wearing a skirt? Better then wearing nothing at all, isn't it
