A two ice cream serving day

Close to end of day 1, and I just had a second helping of chocolate ice cream. Had the first one for lunch, but managed to eat a healthy dinner.

Husband and kittens were wonderful today. It helped me keep my spirits up, and feel loved.

I have no excuse for the drinking. My life could be wonderful if I just let it.

it doesn't need an excuse.

but the ice-cream does
and there are many, and reasons, too.
glad you allowed yourself the two servings.

do what it takes to get through right now.
good to see you back, GHD

Congrats, and I hope you enjoyed both servings immensely...you deserve it.

It's funny because I had a somewhat emotional day with visiting my very ill stepfather in the hospital. When I was drinking I would pour myself a strong drink to cope with any stress in my life...from ill family members to hangnails;-)

Tonight I made a hot fudge sundae for myself, and at one point I looked at my spoon with the Ice cream dripping with fudge and salted caramel and said...wow...this really tastes so much better than booze! I smiled then polished off my bowl happily.

Keep treating yourself well...you are worth it!

Good stuff on getting through. Eat as much ice cream as you need to. I still do many months later
