5 Years

Today is my 5 year anniversary of being sober and abstinent (from compulsive eating). I can hardly believe it’s been that long or the changes in me in that time. It blows my mind to think about it, actually. I’ve got so much gratitude today, it just fills me up like no drug or food could ever do.

One day at a time, I hope to stay in this beautiful, blessed place.
