My morning therapy session went very well, discussing about the week I have had and what is ahead of me next week.

I talked about how I am anxious about an event I am attending tomorrow, not so much about being at the event, as I have been to this event a lot previously and have never been tempted to have a drink.  It is the journey home, where previously, I would buy a bottle of wine every time.  After talking about this, I will still stick to the plan of being last to arrive and first to leave, I will only stay for a max of a few hours.  On the way home, I am going to change my route and drive a different way than I would have previously.  This way, it will be different for me and reduce the anxiety, if a trigger does occur.

Next week, some fellows from the castle are arriving to stay with me for a little bit and we will be attending the reunion.  Due to having guests this week, I have had to change my plans a little, change the day of my AA meeting and change my therapy to the week after.  My therapist is happy with this and has said that I can contact them anytime if I feel I need to, which feels very comforting.  It will also be nice to see my therapist at the reunion.

Plans are also being made to meet up with other fellows too, and I am really looking forward to next week and catching up with everyone.

Since leaving the castle, I have been sticking to a healthy eating plan, and I am feeling amazing for doing this.

I am balancing out the protein, veg and fruit well and have a new love for salad again.  Mostly every day I am making a fresh salad for my lunch.  Slowly feeling my fitness come back, my body is becoming more toned, and my cardio has improved greatly.

I need to plan more fitness into my daily routine and keep this healthy lifestyle going.

Tomorrow I need to stick to my plan, I can do this!
