"On this road called life you have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes. People change. Things go wrong. But just remember, the ride goes on."
6:10am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
Another 24 for me please, and thanks...

I am in a bad place with my eating disorder and it's only gotten worse over the last month. I can't live like this anymore and feel like a fraud since my AV is winning in the food department even though I am winning in the sobriety one.
I found a therapist- just emailed him this morning. His website is amazing and his quotes are all about how "thought become things" which I have been saying ever sine I first read Mike Dooley coin the phrase decades ago. I can't wait to get my first appointment and beat this crap once and for all. It is taking over my life and it is no different than the drinking. Once I start eating what I consider a "bad food" I want more, more more. Food (refined carbs and sugar) makes me isolate, makes me hate myself, creates a lot of inner turmoil and pain not to mention the physical side effects which are beyond embarrassing. I have got to get through these next 3 days of sugar cravings and get "back on track" with low carb eating. It's the only thing that keeps me positive in both body and mind and it works for my body.
Sorry for the rant- I should post this in the ED group I suppose. I am just so sick and tired of being sick and tired about food. Why does it have such a hold on me? Why can't I go out and eat pizza and ice cream with the rest of the world and not be so affected by it? It makes my body sick- literally sick and then I am filled with shame, guilt and disgust. I want to love myself. I want to let go of this. I want to heal.
Wishing you all a great week ahead- I can't believe it's the middle of August already. Where did the summer go?

3 beautiful hummingbirds finally showed up last week and I always think of our dear Kris and her 'hummingbird' posts when they hover over the feeder.
They love the home-made sugar & water mixture and dislike the commercial liquid food. One just hovered right in front of me and it took my breath away!
Wishing everyone a peaceful sober day or night......xxxx
