Life continues

I can't reiterate the importance of realizing life goes on, no matter what you are going through. Do not expect others to treat you any differently because you are having a bad day, you are struggling with symptoms, you broke up with your boyfriend, or you've just overcome a significant challenge.

Good and bad things happen to people every single day, and it's the way you learn to react to situations that truly matters. I find when I'm engaging in symptoms - purging, isolating, restricting, over-exercising, etc - I do not handle stressful situations well. For example....

I have a single argument with P,
but catastrophize the situation until the argument results in a break-up,
blaming my eating disorder, lack of self-esteem, and self for everything,
particularly the fact that I give up on myself and people if they let me down just once,
leaving me ... uphappy and alone ...

Today, I want everyone to know that my eating disorder and other issues are ruining my relationship, but I'm 90 days sober. I want sympathy and recognition, and recognition and applause. I need validation for every emotion, an explanation and reason for everything. I need to be perfect. What I really need to do is let it go already.

90 days goofy haiku

Which haiku do you like best to post on Facebook for my 90 days tomorrow?

90 days sober
I'm just telling ya, facebook
Ain't even over

What up 90 days
Of being super sober
Ain't even over

It's been 90 days
And I'm feeling super fly
Got that sober vibe

On that sober grind
For 90 days in a row
Feeling fly fo sho

It's been 90 days
And I'm proud of my time spent
Kicking it sober

Tomorrow = 90 Days Sober

I'm wasting time at the end of the work day, waiting for 5:00 pm to hit so I can go get my run on. Tomorrow is my 90th day sober and I'm really so proud to say that.



I can't wait to pick up my 90 day chip at my meeting tomorrow. Anyway, I'm going to have a fantastic day today, tonight, and tomorrow - feel free to celebrate on my behalf!
