You are not on anyone's timeline except your own.

Things to remember:

you are constantly growing, learning, experiencing
your mistakes do not define you
you are not on anyone's timeline except your own

That last one, though. We tend to compare our journeys with others.

👉🏻Maybe it's that they're farther along than you - in days because how else do you measure farther along?
👉🏻Maybe it's that they're always smiling while you feel like you're more miserable than not.
👉🏻Maybe it's that you've gained weight, and they've lost.
👉🏻Maybe it's that your face broke out while they have glowing skin.

Whatever the case is, we tend to look at what's not going right for us compared to others. As a human, it's natural to do that, but it's not doing you any favors.

Focus on YOU and YOUR improvements. I can guarantee that you have many. Heck, putting down the bottle alone is a huge accomplishment, so stop looking at the superficial aspects of this journey and start giving yourself praise for unlearning a toxic habit you've relied on for years or, in some cases, decades.

We also don't know what someone else's life is like OR what they are experiencing, OR what the beginning of their journey looked like. Most of the time, we see what others want us to see, NOT the real messy, chaotic parts, so keep that in mind too.

We all have our own timeline of healing and growth, so yes, praise others for their accomplishments but don't' forget to give yourself kudos too.
