Make a meeting! Have you ever made mtgs? If so, I strongly encourage you to do so. If you’ve never, I strongly encourage you to do so. It really does get greater later. I’m Mr. Relapser. But earlier this month I celebrated 1 year clean and sober. And a little more than I year ago I did what you just did: I talked about it here (& with my sponsor), then I got honest, worked the steps, etc, etc. And I always talk about how I feel. I hope you do the same. I’m totally down to chat today, if you want. DM me, by all mean. Keep your head up.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
