Life’s not just about big milestones it’s the little wins and lessons that stick with us.
Maybe you fixed something, tried something new, or had a moment that put things in perspective.
What’s a small win or life lesson you’ve had recently? |

The one lesson I’ve learned over the past few years is to never, ever, ever, no matter the circumstances, be the first poster on a new thread.
I’m doing extremely well and am 672 days clean. That’s my little win and I’m very proud of my blemish free record. |

Breaking your own rule to be the first poster—bold strategy, that! But hey, if it means sharing a cracking achievement like 672 days clean, we’ll let you off. Top effort, mate

Regardless of what tries to destroy my mental health, somehow I keep pushing forward. Probably more attributed to my ADHD stubbornness than actually dealing with the issues, but hey. It works and through all of the bullshit, I've actually come out the other side stronger than ever. 😄 |

I had to unscrew something earlier, and I also had to mop some sweat off my brow as I concentrated hard with my tongue sticking out of the corner of my mouth.
That's my default "DIY" look.
Anyway, I remembered not to stab myself in the head with the screwdriver this time, as I wiped the sweat off.

"I kept going when it was hard, and still do. Maybe actually not as little thing as I thought. "
Carrying on when things are hard takes serious grit, even if it doesn’t always feel like it. You’re doing something really difficult, and that deserves recognition. Be proud of that. |

Today, I learnt that a toy washing machine - my kids have had for a couple of years - opens up, and has more accessories and instructions! 🤯 Thanks to my best friend and her tiktok obsession, she sent me the video 😅 |

ADHD stubbornness definitely has its perks, doesn’t it? Sometimes just pushing through is all you can do, and if it works, it works. Coming out stronger in the end is what really counts—fair play to you for that. |

"Not my saying.... People are jealous of where you are not the journey. "
People see the end result but never the grind it took to get there. It’s a solid reminder that the journey is what really matters, even if others don’t get it. |

I love when you discover something new about a thing you've had for years.
I randomly held down the "Cancel" button on the microwave, for absolutely no apparent reason and found that it turns it off quicker than leaving it to automatically turn off! I've had that fucking thing for about 5 years. 😆 |

Only took a couple of years and a TikTok to uncover the secret features,classic! Bet the kids are loving it now. Like a new toy all over again!. |

It really does. I used to think of it as a burden (and sometimes it can be), but it's definitely helpful at times. 😄
I also adopted a "Fuck It" attitude to many things out of my control. So many things are going to happen and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. Fuck It has gotten me through a lot in the last couple years. 😆 |

Started dancing classes (Ceroc) I've always been embarrassing on a dance floor as I always had to get d*unk before stepping on it.
Took some bottle going but it's great fun plus...
Women there too, loads of them! 😁 |

Love that ‘Fuck It’, should be on a T-shirt or something. Sometimes it’s the only way to deal with the chaos life throws at you. And turning ADHD into a bit of a secret weapon? That’s proper next-level thinking. Fair play! |

Good on you for ditching the Dutch courage and giving it a go,takes some bottle that!.Ceroc sounds like a proper laugh, and if there are loads of women there too, well… doesn’t hurt, does it? .  |

Honestly, it's blown our little minds 🤯 It was a gift off their grandmother. Sent her the video, and she said she's been secretly fuming, thinking she'd been ripped off because it wasn't as described 🤣 A little win for everyone 🤭 |

Making mistakes is all part of learning, and it sounds like a really good atmosphere if everyone just laughs it off.
Fair play for giving it a go and sticking with it,it’s not easy to step out of your comfort zone. |
