When I found myself in this sub I saw the line “sock day” thrown around. I had no idea what it stood for or referenced, but from context knew exactly what it meant when we’d celebrate each other getting our sock.

Today is the day I got my sock. I don’t really want to get into the details but want to acknowledge this community and everything it’s done for me. I showed up here being absolutely destroyed and have come a long way from that version of myself. The sage advice, wisdom, and humor from this community helped me get through the divorce process. Spent a lot of time here when I couldn’t sleep at night, focus at work, or those moments when I was tempted to call the stbxw ex-wife to give our marriage another chance. I feel the knowledge in this sub gave me the cheat codes on how to weather through this with a level headed approach.

Anyway, back to when I first got here I saw a thread about another guy who got his sock and gave away the book “No More Mr. Nice Guy” to the first member who DM’d him. I didn’t get the book giveaway, but it inspired me to read it myself and really set the tone for my healing journey. I told myself once I finalize my divorce I would do the same for another member on this sub.

So to whoever DMs me first - I’ll reach out and send the book.
