Helped you! Maybe I should have said - it doesn’t get easier, we just get stronger! Because in the end it is our willpower that gets us through!

For me, I love those little melt in your mouth peppermints that for some reason we have at the reception desk right outside my office. I can eat them, count the points and move on - BUT - I know that if I allow myself to have even one of those sweet mints, the rest of my day as far as my eating will be off! Just one little mint (and it’s never just one) will set the course for the rest of the day. I have to make that decision every time I walk out of my office to not take one. That for me is sobriety.

I am cheering you on Paula! We didn’t come this far- just to come this far! Let’s finish this!
