Celebrating Sobriety Even When You’re Not in a Group

<p>Imeet my therapist about once a month, so a lot can happen in my life between sessions. For much of the time I&rsquo;ve known her, most of our sessions have focused on helping me escape depression&rsquo;s gnarly claws.</p> <p>This last session was different. We ended up celebrating my victories over the last several months, particularly my sobriety. For once, I walked out of therapy feeling positive about myself.</p> <p>February was a good month for me. I started medication, and by the end of the month, I noticed a huge difference in my mood. To date, I no longer have mood swings, and feeling stable is something for which I&rsquo;m immensely grateful. It&rsquo;s not something I&rsquo;ve experienced often.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/black-bear-recovery/celebrating-sobriety-even-when-youre-not-in-a-group-33f74afbc380"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
