Self-Sabotage

I had a really good therapy session yesterday.  My therapist pointed out how well I have been doing the past couple of weeks.  We discussed how I had been taking care of myself with my AA meeting attendance, my exercise regimen and following my food plan, as well as journaling and all that good stuff.  The result of self-care is that I feel better and don't act out.   At the end of my session, he reminded me to be on guard for self-sabotage.  I had been doing well in June, and had a therapy session which was promptly followed by an acting out episode and a meltdown.  I am so grateful he reminded me of that.  Last night, I became agitated and was experiencing a lot of anxiety.  This morning I started to overeat as a result.  I caught myself and was able to curb it.  I got on my exercise bike and am now just working my program to the best of my ability. I wonder if I will ever get past the part where I want to sabotage my successes. Hugs, Trish
