Yup, that’s right. Am starting another hsm today. Feeling a little scared but I know in my heart of hearts that this is what I want to do after much reflection and actually sober right now – feeling good about it and to give myself an opportunity in a new area to really live out my goals and dreams. So here we go on a whole new fresh start.xx Look forward to connecting with others out there so feel free to follow and I will know you are out there too and give as much support back!

Had a really rough day at work a couple of weeks ago and was determined to go and drown it out with a bottle of wine, although HSM saved me on that day – thanks for your posts people! So, that’s why I’m posting this one. You CAN get through this. (i must admit chocolate did save me the first couple of weeks!) A [...]
