Guess it’s only fitting that I’m sick on New Years after the 2014 I had! I’m more than happy to be spending the night on the couch and watching TV with Cody though.
My bones are healing up and I’ll be able to start physio in the new year so that I can start working my way back. So ready to put the pads back on and get on the field!
Despite the physical injuries and whatever bug or virus I’m dealing with right now, I feel healthier than I have in a long time. I’m going into 2015 in recovery, although I still have a lot of work to do. Two weeks of treatment left and relapse prevention after that, but I’m in a better place than I have been for the last five New Year’s Eves.
I found the note I wrote just before midnight a year ago and I was in a completely different position with the eating disorder and depression having such a strong hold on my mind. The idea of recovery wasn’t even a thought, opening up to my family wasn’t a possibility, and I was happy just to have made it to New Years.
I am happiest to have survived 2014 and to be here tonight, but for completely different reasons than a year ago. I still have a long road of recovery ahead of me, both mentally and physically, but looking back to one year ago, I have come a long way.
To my family and friends who have been there for me since before this year even started, thank you! You helped me get through some of my hardest times and continue to do so.
To the friends I’ve had the honour of meeting in the last eight weeks you mean so much to me! You have helped me in more ways than I could ever say. It’s been a crazy eight weeks for me and you have all been there to help me through it. I wish you all the best in the New Year and am always here if you need it! Love you girls!
