Dealing with body dysmorphia most of my life, along with trading alcoholism and pill popping for a food addiction, I have finally come to terms with my own body. Being a nutritionist and a health coach, I feel like a fraud sometimes. Here I am with all my own issues around food and addiction & I’m giving out all the advice I need to hear. I saw this today and smiled. Be kind to yourself. We only have one body :heart:

447 days no alcohol.
415 days no cocaine.
8 days no nicotine.

I have binged massively, twice today. In pain and feeling really ashamed and disgusted at myself. It’s not just all the food it’s the almost 2 boxes of strong laxatives I’ve taken as well. I’ve told myself tomorrow we start again, new week, new month, and focus. I am really praying and hoping. :pray:t2:

Hey everyone happy Halloween :jack_o_lantern:
I’m glad it is a sober one
Not much today from me. Like normal I went to the gym so just tomorrow and Tuesday off. I should be wrapping up the outpatient part of my treatment soon. I don’t know how I feel about it. I will be glad that I finished because I said I would but it changes my routine so much. I’m not worried that not being there will lead me to that first one. I just like how things are (an addict that doesn’t like change? Must be a first). But school starts in January so I will have a new weekly structure. But at least I can say

74 days no alcohol
37 days no cigarettes

Good job we are awesome :sunglasses:
Peace and chicken grease

  1. Tonight I had my siblings here for trick-or-treating with all of my nieces and nephews. I made sloppy Joe’s, chips and apples w/caramel sauce. I’m completely wiped out! I had to keep resting because I’m still in so much pain if I do too much. The kids had a blast all my girls went as unicorns and the baby was a puppy. I sent pics to their Mom and all she said was cute. It made me so mad for some reason. Like look how freakin cute your kids are dont you even want to talk to them. I just don’t get it. I tried making it extra special for my oldest niece who is 6. She told me last year her Mom didn’t take her and she had to watch from the window so that’s why I invited her cousins so she’d have a fun time. They all did and that’s what matters. Well this TtMama is exhausted. That’s what my nieces call me now :rofl:. It’s cute and I don’t mind. I hope everyone had a wonderful sober Halloween! Much love TS fam :purple_heart:

773 days. I took my daughter trick-or
-treating even though I think she’s too old. It’s what she likes to do and all the neighbors look forward to seeing her in costume. Just another uncomfortable thing I do in sobriety to put a smile her face.

We didn’t go to a lot of houses and weren’t out too long so I left the bowl of candy on my front step. A group of older kids took almost all the candy. I wasn’t too far from my house and had it in sight the entire time, this group was the only ones that came while I was away. I even passed them at one of the neighbor’s house and thought how rude they were when my daughter tried to say hello and they grunted at her and started whisperering. They’re not from my area because all the kids know us and are very friendly and often stop to talk to my daughter. It’s sad to see how unkind these young kids can be.

In the end, I’m glad I took her out and made her day. She made the neighbors smile and they all spoiled her with lots of candy and money.
