6.30 wake up

Started the day catching up on a bit of the news and the outside world that I had missed. Also had a good chat with neighbours, catching up on things I have missed whilst being in. Amazing how much life goes on whilst you are away from it with limited contact. Gladfully nothing dramatic happened whilst I was away. It made me feel happy inside to know that I have good neighbours who had been keeping an eye on the house whilst I had been away. I told them where I was going and they provided me with good support today, asking me to speak to them if ever I am triggered, or if they do any actions which may trigger me. Feels nice to have the support of people around me.

Also had a few chats today with fellows that I was in rehab with, and was comforting to hear that they are all doing well and sticking to their relapse prevention. Gave me hope that I can also do this.

I gave the kitchen a massive clean and gut out today, this was well overdue and needed. I never realised the state that I had let it get into. Spent most of the day doing this, taking my time and having breaks in-between to keep the stress down.

A healthy eating plan is on! Made homemade burgers, which I had been craving for weeks.

It had been a nice chilled day today with no stress and a sense of achievement in finally having a clean kitchen again.

Time to eat and watch a film then bed.

“Long may this feeling of achievement continue”
