while I was at work today I hit 4 years SH free and last year I didn't really care about the milestone because it didn't feel like a big of a deal but today after all that happened this year with a break up on top and being "alone" in a city 350 km from my hometown with half of my support system gone because of the break up (I had a lot of "friends" here for the whole relationship but they turned out to be his friends who just tolerate me and nobody spoke to me since the break up even though he was the one who broke up and it was "on good terms") I just want to take the win, I bought myself a donut and a candle and I did a little celebration after work and thought I share it here since I feel like right now ever little win is important

hit a big milestone after my breakup too, and it felt weird celebrating without the people i thought would be there. that donut and candle made me smile though, sometimes those small victories are the ones you fought hardest for
The thing about the friends hits close to home. we are all so much stronger then we think. things can only go up for you, congrats on your milestone and thank you for sharing your achievement! stay strong 🫶
i'm really happy you shared this. 💛 what was going through your mind when you realized you'd reached 4 years, was it pride, relief, disbelief, or a bit of everything?
im incredibly proud of you! Especially since everything you've been going through you've kept at it. You made me remember my win, I haven't thought about it for a long time, but im coming up to 20years sh free. Wow. I think I might spend today talking to my younger self, she had no idea I would get this far
