V- Really good to hear that little v is doing better.
Dee-Glad you're feeling better too!
Upnup - great to see you.
mel - way to make different choices with a trigger. You're costume sounds awesome. I hadn't thought about the holiday, but you're right - at this point I'm fine at parties, but for the first 6 months I didn't care to socialize.
School has been a hectic transition for me - and faced a lot of triggers. I drank to relieve stress. I feel like I'm through the main adjustment now though. I ate a lot of sugar instead the first couple of weeks - now I'm not reaching for the food to compensate, and just feeling more well centered. I think it's because I have atleast one day a weekend free now.
