6 months

6 months today. Thank you all for your love and support, you have stood shoulder to shoulder with me and it has meant the world to me. I know it's a tiny little step compared to many of you, but it means such a lot to me.

This past 6 months have been full of self-discoveries and growth. I am more tolerant, yet in a way less accepting of what I know isn't right. I know I need time on my own in order to be better when I am with others. I have found out who my true friends are. I have made lifestyle changes, addressed other unhealthy ways of living and thinking, and changed them. I challenge my dark thoughts and share them instead of isolating. I cherish the right things and let go of the wrong ones.

I have been here before of course, but this time it feels different.

I feel very grateful and humble this morning. And for any others who are suffering the pain of relapse...know there is life afterwards...and it's even better than before. ❤️
