A very late blog as I’ve been actively engaging with others on the same journey. It really does help to not feel alone and know that you’re not mad or taking something too far again.

Day 5 in the bag. I did have an apple at about 4.30pm to tide me over as dinner was going to be late. After school, i had to take Child3 to the shops for football boots and he asked for a snack. I took some deep breaths and told myself that just because he would be eating something I usually snack on didn’t mean i had to eat too. He chose a packet of crisps instead of something sweet in the end and saved me the turmoil of temptation (hello HP?!).

Had a chat to the Saint (my husband) who didn’t judge me when I told him of my spiritual revelations this week. He said I’d been much nicer to live with recently so whatever it took, he was fine with it 😉

I also spoke to my sponsor who told me i had embraced many truths this week.

And while I was feeling on a natural high with the world, i reached out for a pleasant chat with my sister and spread my new-found love a bit further, much to both our surprise.

Tomorrow (yes i know i should be staying in this 24 hours but technically it’s today now…) i have a birthday party that i was trying not to dwell on. The “Food for thought” for 20 April tomorrow (which i saw as it was on the next page) was about social situations. Well hello HP once again!

Off to say my daily ‘prayer’ now.
