Use additional paper if necessary, and never, ever underestimate the power of keeping a daily journal. Sometimes, you might just get inside your head. It also helps you find your "trouble" areas during the day.

Every day is a new day. Never give up. If you only had to journal for one day, (tomorrow), could you do it? Of course you could! We can all do this together!!!

Good luck on your journey and remember, ONE DAY AT A TIME, NO GUILT and just MOVE ON when you are having a rough day! YOU CAN DO THIS - I'm rooting for you. Dotti
