Day 500 It amazes me how sometimes now I actually miss milestones. Where alcohol and it’s place in my life use to encompass my every waking hour, it now stuns me that I very rarely even think of it at all. But while it feels like a distant memory…. or nightmare I should say……I am well aware, that it was and is very real and it would take very little for it to haunt me again. Forever grateful and blessed ❤🙏🏼❤ ---

If you mean telling someone about my uncle, yes. No one believed me. My mom said it didnt happen and my dad said “even if it did happen it’s your fault for staying at his house when he was drunk” ---

Day 75 of no self harm tonight. Cried myself to sleep last night which wasn’t great. But I slept at least. Slept till 1pm actually. Woke up with a migraine so I’ve been relaxing today trying to keep it from getting any worse. Haven’t eaten, but I ordered pizza and I am going to eat it at some point today. I’m back on track with taking my meds but I took them less than half of the time this past week so now I’m adjusting back to them and it feels pretty crappy physically. I’m doing ok mentally though. Something positive: my dog was so excited to see me when I woke up this morning, was a great feeling ---
