Grinning. Congrats on 103 (105?) days.

I've been meaning to email you since your last comment on my blog. I've been meaning to ask.

I knew you when you wrote of your eating disorder and I know you now. I nod.

Love to you, sweet thing.

I read this entry yesterday and it haunted me all day and all night. I am new to your blog, so I don't know much about your history, but you floored me. I admire your strength more than you could imagine.

When I was a teenager, my aunt told me, "The only people who have ever loved you have been alcoholics." That statement was so humbling, I wanted to cry. I had never realized it before, but she was right. My parents, my grandparents, even my boyfriends.

It made me realize that I deserved better than that, that I deserved to be loved by a sober person. Every kid deserves to have a sober parent. Every single one of us. I admire you so much for taking that step for your child. It will make all the difference to her life and her self-respect.

Yay you! <> Someone close to me just hit the 120-day mark on nondrinking and it is really a big deal.

103 days is an excellent start! I like what you wrote at the end, in response to your ex… “I stopped feeding (my problem) 103 days ago.” The only truth you need.

I'm probably the last person you'd think would comment on your blog anymore, but I wanted to let you know, even if it means nothing, that I'm cheering you on.
