I've heard about people who relapse and then go on month-long binges. I didn't believe it until it happened to me. Someone who I hold pretty dear to me told me not mess around with the guilt part, but to pick myself up, dust myself off, and head toward the next day.
One day at a time.

Our mistakes are there to learn from.
Congratulations on day 5 today!

Awesome job on 1 week! Keep checking in. My first week was really rough but it gets easier and it's soooo worth it.

Hope the next week goes smoother for you.

Yay for Day 8! I usually deal with irritations by distracting myself with something calming like music or a movie. Right now, I'm learning about how to just sit with emotion and not add more drama to it. You can actually feel the irritation leave you. Cooking is great stress reliever too. Hope you enjoyed your day off!
