Day 8
Hi One - Day 8 for me too.... I'm just about 9 hours behind you in time zones so technically you're ahead.
Are you at all anxious? I feel great and am very happy, but there is a part of my brain that keeps looking back for that monster that has chased me for so long. I don't see him anywhere, but I don't want to let myself get too cocky.
I physically feel great and have been sleeping well and am so proud of myself. Finally.
Looking forward to double-digit counts!Member since January 2008

Day 8
Hi tired
Hi Tired, congrats on day 8 that is wonderful. I know what you mean about being anxious about getting cocky. After all although we may be feeling great it is still early days for us both.
I think it is important to believe that we are going to succeed and anxiety can only undermine this. It is exhausting to be living in fear of the next slip.
One thing I have noticed on this forum is how kind people can be to others and how hard the very same people can be on themselves. I think that is an effect of the disease. Our self esteem gets destroyed to the point where we don't really believe in ourselves anymore and we almost are afraid to think positive in case we are just setting ourselves up for a humiliating fall. This is self defeating as it leads to self doubt. So I say be proud of what you have achieved, even be a bit cocky now and again but just don't be complacent and if we do slip then we will just have to try even harder next time !!!!
