Sober today; I have fatigue from being ill for 3 weeksā€¦. Iā€™m hoping I will get back to 100% ; I have never been ill for so long. Taking it easy and slow, sun is out birds are singing and having jacket potatoes shortly with my kids (on half term) :pray:

Day 259. Only took the weekend off and I couldnā€™t believe how hard the gym was yesterday, must of been all the carbs I ate at my motherā€™s this weekend. Didnā€™t even realize today was Valentineā€™s day so Iā€™m a little upset I didnā€™t do anything for my girl while I was up. Iā€™m doing ok otherwise I suppose, sometimes idk how Iā€™m really feeling, I feel enthusiastic. Iā€™m grateful for another day to be the best I can be, grateful for this app, grateful for a phone to keep in touch with my girls, grateful for a 1 on 1 session with my counselor today. Much love

40 days today! It really seems like it was just yesterday I was starting this journey and all of a sudden I am at this milestone. Had a great conversation with my cousin Sunday and we caught up on the phone for 2 hours talking about work and health and faith. It was so interesting because my cousin was actually the person who gave me my first beer at age 13. During our conversation he mentioned he had been feeling called to change his habits and drink less/avoid it altogether. Our family has a history of alcoholism and we talked about our grandfather who made the choice to quit drinking and became the best influence in our lives until the day he died. I shared with him my sober journey and he was really supportive and happy and from our faith perspective we both agreed the conversation reaffirmed the decision to change our habits! For anybody just starting your journey, one day at a time really works and each day in itself is an incredible milestone when you choose not to use your substance! So celebrate each day and before you know it youā€™ll have a string of good days to look back on!

918 days no alcohol.
383 days no cocaine.
150 days no takeaways.
6 days no crisps.
5 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.

Got the results back from my Diabetic Eye Screening, and I have the first stage of Retinopathy. This is quite a shock to me after only being diagnosed 14 months ago, and the fact that I am already on medication for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose. It says there is no treatment at this stage, but I am concerned for my vision in the future.

Went for an early walk in the cold fog, which was refreshing, then by the time I just went for my afternoon lake walk, the fog and sky had cleared and the sun was shining. Itā€™s always good to get out, but itā€™s extra nice when itā€™s sunny.

I received an email confirming that the Physio company have received my referral re my back, they sent a link with some exercises I can start doing while I wait to be seen, so I have started them today.

It may seem like I have a lot of counters, but honestly, there are more. This disease affects every area of my life. I am quite proud of my takeaways milestone today, regardless of still battling my eating disorder. From where I was at, consuming 2+ takeaways every day, to where I am at now, itā€™s major progress for me, and it took years of trying, to get to here.
