recovery.

{pin}

the project is in full swing.
it's not as hard as i thought it would be, but literally, i'm treating myself as a recovering addict.
do you know how if you were a recovery alcoholic you wouldn't go to a bar.
i avoid shopping the same way....
i didn't even trust myself in saver's friday night. fur. real.
there have been a couple crowning moments thus far that remind me: I CAN DO THIS!
first:
I started the project march 8th, since then i have brought a lunch to work everyday. {expect for the days i've had lunch dates.}
second:
no solo diet coke runs. guys, that one is rough. BUT I DO IT!
third:
i decided these could be returned... that was one pretty painful, but i decided $72.something could be spent so much better in london or paris. plus aubry adopted them, so i'll still get to see them. and maybe if i'm really nice maybe she'll let me borrow them. maybe?
fourth:
i made it out of target last night with only project approved items. that might be a first ever.
fifth:
my europe savings account hit 4 digits on friday.... i'm drooling over the purchases that are to come.

if you invite me to go shopping and i say no, remember that i'm treating myself as a recovering addict... i have to avoid shopping like it's the only thing between my sobriety and total relapse.
