Thanks for your response! I’m glad my positivity has made you happy your 11 days gives me even more confidence that all of us fighting this battle can do this! I’ve had time to evaluate where I went wrong before my last relapse and I’m in the process of making the correct changes to make sure I never hit the mat again I have a plan and will carry it out and we will all do this together once again I’m blessed to hear and have everybody on here this tool is a prime example that strong individuals can all come together to conquer our goals

Welcome! This group is so great and has helped me so much. I remember when I first started and seeing people with so many days made me so much more determined. I wanted to be those people!
Today I have 60 days! You can do it!
