And then I do that for myself.

Hope this makes sense! Congrats on 58 days! That is a wonderful accomplishment. I hope you can celebrate that and be gentle with yourself!
I LOVE THAT!!!!! I had a friend who was talking about some situations she was in and she used her kids. "Would I make my kids do that? Let them do that? Put them in that situation? Do they deserve that?" That made so much sense to me. If it's good enough for my kids, or bad enough, depending on the situation, then how should I or could I be any less than that?

Be good to yourself, you do deserve to feel proud. One step at a time. Get through the first and then the next and so on.
