      Day 1…  There have been so many. 
      I could talk about the self-hatred, the failures, shame, guilt, depression…  I have read many journal entries, and I can relate to so many of your stories.  The very thing I reach for to feel better knocks me down and beats me up and leaves me wanting more.  My escape has become my prison.
      But, if this is to be Day 1 of something different, then I will tell a new story.  A person addicted to feeling good in a new and better way.  A story of wealth, health, and happiness.  Replacing self-hatred with self-love, and a person determined to getting her life back. 
      I am not sure yet how this story will turn out, but chapter 1 begins today…
      Today I will tell my husband sorry, again.  As the last week has been particularly bad.  I wait in dread for the next checking statement that will come May 24.  I promise my husband things will get better, and I pray that he will still love me.  One change though, tonight I will ask him to take my debit card and take control of my ability to spend in excess.  If anyone reads this, I would appreciate your prayers and good thoughts.  Right now, I’ll dry my tears and hope for a better day than yesterday. After all, today is the first day of my spiritual journey!Today is the first day of my spiritual journey!
