Description:

I did a swap when I first joined swap-bot for a girl that just broke up with her boyfriend. It was fun to make and fun to receive all of the wonderful handmade goodies that were obviously made from the heart.

The swap was for a small box filled with things of encouragement. The keepsakes I received from this swap I have to this day.

They tried to make me go to rehab... and I have to go! ** I only ask .. No Christian stuff please **

Suggestions: cards of affirmations, healing crystals, "a playlist of music that would have been on a cd....." or however you interpret that, anything you craft, small collectables. Just make sure its a collection, not just one item. I won't put a dollar amount on it because I know that a lot of us can make some awesome things that you can't put a dollar amount on.

Since this is a swap that needs heart, please only join if you are wanting to put the time in to make and collect things for your project.

If you are on the road to recovery, you can appreciate what Im trying to do here. It really is one day at a time, and little gestures like this make a huge difference.

I prefer a swap bot rating of 4.5 or higher but I will make the decision based on profiles, since this is a unique swap. ***********Flakers will be reported!! *****************

Just FYI, sending mixed cds is against the rules due to copyright violation. The suggestion to replace them has been to send a written playlist of songs that you would have put on the mixed cd.

I don't fully understand how the swap works...but I am interested.

@singsweetly its just a box of things you would give someone going into rehab...kinda new agey, kinda a hug in a box...

@mxgrrlblu does it legit need to be in a box? I don't think I have a box..

mxgrrlblu 08/10/2013 #

@takehimaway No, you dont have to have a box. Its just easier to keep the keepsakes in that way.

I love this idea. I hope to join nearer the signup date, once I'm sure I have time.

The recovery journey is amazing

I just got out of detox. This swap will have extra meaning for me... :)

I am not sure if I'm going to do this particular swap but I did want to stop by and say hi to all the lovely swappers in recovery! Glad you're here!

Also, if you're working the steps and might be interested in a pen pal, a journal swap, maybe a recovery art journal, or anything like that, send me a PM. I recently did my step 5 and I am just over 90 days sober.

@charophyta Congrats on 90 days!!
