Staying Sober IS an Accomplishment. And as humans we desire to have our accomplishments be acknowledged. We want to know that we are on the right track and that our efforts are not in vain. As children we look up to our parents and teachers for praise. As adults we look to our bosses, peers, spouses, friends for that same praise. Look, even Facebook has a "Like" button so I know I'm not off my rocker writing this.
And it's not a bad thing. It's why the AA program as well as Celebrate Recovery has a system for saying great job with their chips. And so at recoveryBox, it was felt that we need to praise and support those who are using our app and perhaps not attending a traditional meeting of some sort.
We hope you understand how PROUD we are of each and every time you see that screen come up!! Some will want to keep it private - say between you and your sponsor. Others will want to share on a social media site like Facebook and Twitter.
Be proud of your hard work. I know I am!
