The NEA is currently voting against Israel and claiming the lie of “ethnic-cleansing”. We must fight back. https://t.co/eHrDVcNoGA #Antisemitism #lies #israel #JewsDontCount

If I am not the problem there is no solution.

How’s your morning?

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

Two years sober, today!

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

@Adamhill1212 I’m two years sober tomorrow. 🎉 I guess we’re recovery twins.

Cheating on processed foods is not cheating. It's self-poisoning. Do you agree?

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

I had no trouble admitting alcohol & food was more powerful than me. What was hard was believing that there existed a power stronger than those. I have to remind myself of that a lot.

Feeling terrible insecurity & anxiety tonite. We’re having lunch tomorrow with one of hubby’s best friends, who happens to be a woman. I admit I’m jealous & compare myself unfavorably w/her. *I’m* the third wheel. I’m very glad there’s no alcohol here. I might very well be 🥃

@thepublandlady1 Fall down seven times, get up eight. ❤️🤗

Is it just me or do the folks at The Home Edit eat a lot of processed food?

Like most addicts, I have a tendency to go it alone. Delegating is so hard for me. But HP helped me delegate a lot of this work for my move. And thank Goodness I did. I have a professional cleaning crew for once! 🎉

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

Pulled a tick out of the back of my neck today by accident. I was adjusting my necklace & thought a neck hair was caught on the chain and yanked. 😳 I was in the woods this morning. I am ever so grateful to HP that I found it - & so quickly. 🙏

@BeatrixBostock Personally,I think it’s fear that underlies everything, including resentment.

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

@strongwithinxo The 1st one. The black background and florals are stunning.

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

Self-care, for me, is all about being proactive and designing a schedule for plenty of rest, exercise, and clean eating. If I live too much in the moment, I get self-indulgent. Combine that with anxiety and away I go! It’s not a good scene. 🤨

[The Hungry Ghost @Basya_Recovers]

No detectable anxiety this morning. I never realized before how my self-harm, alcohol use, & compulsive eating are connected to my anxiety. All the more reason for or prayer & meditation. Most important part of my day!! #Recovery
