DAY FIFTY NINE ~ MEETING FIFTY NINE
ABSTINENCE
I have talked about abstinence for me being more than just abstinence from the food. I have never been more aware of this than in the last week. I fought the urges to eat, but I was also fighting demons and old emotions that I thought were long gone. Abstinence is facing these things head on and dealing with them each day. Abstinence is not falling into my old behaviors. Abstinence is treating others as I would want to be treated each and every moment of every day.
I do not have perfect abstinence. I cannot imagine anyone who does, but I try each and every day to be abstinent to the best of my ability. When I feel like I am losing my abstinence in any way, I turn to God, my chosen HP, to help me with whatever area it is I am having trouble in. The food is just a symptom?I have to remember that.
Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
