@avant-garde not really well done. That was yesterday...
But I wanted to say, well done and I know. And when/if you post, I'll be there. No pressure though.

You'll get there @MissinTooth
Whether it's 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day or 1 year, the desire to try is still there and there's something to be said for that

Hey @avant-garde how you going today?
Had any more thoughts about how you'd like to go about your celebration? Re the guidelines, well you're always welcome to email us a draft of the post first if you like, and we can check it over and ensure it all works. You seem to be pretty good at knowing how to share or not share detail thus far, so I think you'll do just fine.
With a celebratory post, it could be perhaps an opportunity for all members who want to mark a milestone of being free from SH, with the post being 'inspired by avant-garde's journey!' and can even link to your discussion thread from there? All sorts of ways we could do it.
@MissinTooth I am so proud of you for making it 24 hours!! How's today been for you?
Psst - no matter if your day was a continuation of the time or not, doesn't make me not proud of you 😉

@Jynx a vent sounds good, but not here. Maybe over on my thread...
I don't know if you want me to vent...it's just...a lot. I feel it...like I'm going to explode. That pressure. Maybe a vent will release it? I dunno.
Ps. Thank you for giving me a suggestion because I never know how to answer that question - what can I do to support you? Half the time...I don't know what I need. Maybe it helps to understand the options.

Of course @MissinTooth you'll have to tag me there I think
I want you... to do what feels right for you. If it feels like there's lots of pressure needing release, then maybe a vent is in order!! But don't do it because you think it's what I want, only do it if it feels safe, and right, for you 💜
Hehe you're welcome, I do always try to include one option cos then if it's the wrong one at least we have a starting point 😋

@avant-garde bouncing balls? Have I missed something? Sounds not very fun?

You haven't missed anything, just people thinking I can juggle the world and my reality at the same time, nothing new.
Oh and my tablet keyboard deciding to change and mess with the layout.
