It can be hard to believe that this time last year I was setting myself up for failure.

But I could not see it within me even though I knew I was doing the wrong thing.

I thought that the experts were wrong but eventually like the relapse nearly the year before it proved itself wrong.

Sometimes it takes hearing the hard truth behind those that have power or that care about you to see that doing what you need to do is a necessity.

As hard as it can be at times to do what is right it’s also knowing that there are also others battling the same battle and you need to show them that there’s no shame in doing the right thing no matter how hard it is to battle the other causes it brings.

You work at battling the other causes and move forward because you know that it too is the right thing.

But above all you must love yourself through the process, be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.
