Update

Tonight I accomplished the following things:
a) ate a full dinner
b) ordered my boyfriend's birthday presents online, then forgot it's a bank holiday
weekend...agh!
c) had a quick nap
d) shared with a friend, about how to help another friend
e) did a diabetes/blood sugar test

Today has been a good day. Spent the morning with The Boy, fabulous as ever (smiles!) and spent the afternoon in group therapy, trying to help someone new.

"A bridge to normal living", is what such therapy is described as in addiction literature, and this is something I'm taking on board at the moment. I find myself in the very fortunate position of being able to help people in recovery, people who are going through what I went through and who want what I have to give.

Craig Ferguson talks about "a lifetime of vigilance", and this is what life after recovery is. "A chronic condition that you are going to have to live with and manage for the rest of your life...". Oh, you've watched the video, right? You don't need me to quote a sober Scotsman for you to get the picture.

So this is normal living. Actually, this is fabulous living disguised, to those who've known no different, as 'normal'.

My friend today, via phone after a bust-up with her new man, lamented that life never goes right for her, everything always goes wrong. In my experience - not opinion - if you sleep under a dry roof, then life is going pretty damn well.

On the other hand, who am I to talk? I currently face a bit of a difficult situation regarding my health after a pharmacist today informed me that I might have diabetes or slight malnutrition.

"But I'm NOT EVEN UNDERWEIGHT!", I exclaimed.
"Um...you don't have to be underweight to be lacking basic nutrition...you just have to eat a bit more."

Oh well then. Still got one more dry roof than I had in my previous life.
I'm off to eat some avocado and get nutritionalised. Smiles :)
