I real...Congrats on 1 year sober! This is amazing.<br /><br />I really hope as time goes by you feel less ashamed for having a history of alcohol abuse. It is so common in people with eating disorders just as other co-morbid mental illnesses and personality disorders, self harm, etc. are. (I am sure you know this, too - just to reassure some more :))I knew at least 2 from my treatment group who were openly recovering alcoholics (and several more who would probably do well with sobriety)<br /><br />You look so beautiful and strong in your picture today versus a year ago. You can see it even in your smile - the smile in the second picture is genuine. You are right in that at our sickest, we are NOT ourselves at all. At my sickest, I stole money from my parents...something that is completely against my moral code and something I couldn't fathom doing today.<br /><br />Be proud, you deserve it! :)<br /><br />P.S. That cake is super lovely!!Lindsaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-54039040654898672912013-05-08T16:16:35.385-07:002013-05-08T16:16:35.385-07:00Oh my gosh.

Talking about these kinds of things can be hard, really, but it doesn't make you weak and there is no reason to be embarrassed, it simply says "I am human. Now hear me roar." <br />These two pictures, the one of you from last year and this year, man... I knew the Kelsi on the left from the outside- the Kelsi on the right was inside and I saw her from the start. She pushed her way out and I am incredibly blessed to been given the opportunity to watch her break the nasty shell. <br />To one year of recovery and sobriety and to many, MANY more! <3 <br />Love you so much!!! xoxo<br />P.s. Can't wait to celebrate all of this with you this weekend!

Shame eats up ourselves, and we feel like we have secrets. Self-honesty and honesty to the others help. Unconditional love towards ourselves. If I had a child who just would not get whatever he/she was dealing with, would I hate my kid? That would never affect on me to love my kid. If I share my secrets, and someone still love myself just like before, would I feel relief? Yes, a big time. Would I trust the person? Yes, more than ever. We are learning to love ourselves as a whole including our past and weakness. There is nothing to be ashamed for who you used to be and who you are becoming. Both is a loving person. Enjoy your recovery in anyway! xoxo artytechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023746097803453938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-76207724517424780362013-05-08T07:52:33.488-07:002013-05-08T07:52:33.488-07:00And I wish I could give you a big hug back!
