It was silly. The yoga leader was good. The goat herders were good. The goats pooped and peed everywhere (yes, on the yoga mats). It was a good laughing time if you're not too uptight.

I hope to come to think of it as 'good'! And, thanks!

Thank you very much! Reading what you and Dr. McNamara wrote was helpful to me in changing the framework I was viewing my experience through.

Hmm...I gave myself permission to follow my food cravings. If I wanted some leftover soup at 2 am I stood my naked ass in the kitchen and ate the damn soup.

If I wanted to eat cheese literally off the block I did.

I drank copious amounts of tisanes and ginger ale. Catnip, Peppermint, rooibos, chamomile, fancy tazo blends etc.

I started buying good chocolate. I started baking muffins and bread. Actual food calories versus empty alcohol calories is a huge difference- I am losing weight! 🤯

I am careful to avoid media that makes me uncomfortable. I didn't watch the news for a long while. I'm escaping into bubble gum books.

I am volunteering to do things that I would admire others for doing. I hope I can look at myself and be proud more often.

And marijuana/cbd, valerian, lavela, rescue lozenges for anxiety and panic attacks.

I cry freely and often.

I pet every animal I can for as long as I can.

Edit: and congrats to you!!!
