This year I chose sobriety.
Somewhere along the way, my plant hobby walked with me.
I’ve failed with plants. I’ve overwatered, underwatered, rushed growth, tried to “fix” things that just needed time. But I never quit and I definetly learned!
This past year, I have brought in many new plants. Some came to me stressed and beat up. Some still have scars and that’s ok because a damaged leaf still photosynthesizes.
You can be scarred and still alive. Still breathing. Still doing your best. Plants don’t need to be perfect to keep growing. Neither do we.

Proud of you for choosing a life of sobriety!! Wishing you continued success and happiness
Gorgeous croton! Keep on growing 😁
Very well stated. As a fellow person in recovery I congratulate you on making the choice to get well. It takes a lot of guts, dedication and determination to get sober. You sound like you have a very good mindset. Plants have greatly helped me cope with sobriety and MH struggles including PTSD. They are an amazing hobby and the tools gained are very beneficial. This is a great community in this sub too, lots of helpful people with tons of great advice. I wish you the best in your path forward!
