They can be small things, it doesn't matter.

I get to the end of the day and even (and especially) if I have my sad face on, I say it all out loud. "I am proud of myself for....."

It can also include: I am proud of myself for another sober day. I am proud of myself for not crying at work. I am proud of myself for trying. s

And, oh my....could I relate?! Actually, in the past few days. Confusing, too, because awash with gratitude on Thu, I also felt some of the most discontent and truly relief-seeking feelings (what I'd call "THAT feeling"). It sucked, actually! But talking myself thru it, telling my husband, knowing that we were eating Thgvg lunch out....it turned out ok.

Fear has been my "thing"- I've been "realizing it" for maybe 6 mo....and that gets in the way of everything!

You're doing great. Oh, and I will def have dessert today - at least once- because it's my wedding anniversary! Not that I need a reason on other days but just sayin'

I am doing my best to turn the day around, and I will make sure I give myself a pat on the back for every step today. s xx
