Today is the day I am taking my life back. I want to use today to fix my mistakes. I realized that for the last 10 years I have drank to excess almost every night and wasted all my free time that I could have used for self improvement on getting drunk and numbing my emotions. Today I make the choice to stop smoking. This is the first big change. I also want to quit drinking, eat healthier, learn more about nutrition, exercise daily, get to a healthy weight, and get healthier mentally. By doing these things I feel like despite my disease it will help me get some semblance of control back into my life. It will also comfort me and by having that comfort it will help mentally.
