    It’s been a couple years since I ate compulsively, which is how I’ve defined my abstinence. Ive also added on (recently) abstaining from foods that hinder my blood sugar, so I imagine that my abstinence will evolve over time, as some foods that are not a trigger for me causes my blood sugar to spike.
    Thanks @Gamliela for your insight and support!!

    @GrokRockStar How are you determining what causes your blood sugar to spike? Are you using a glucose monitor? Or reactions? I'd love to know!

    Yes, I use a glucometer and check fasting and after meals, so I check about 4 times per day.

    Committing to my program today with some recovery reading and ME time.
    I attended a F2F meeting yesterday and it was very humbling and spiritual. I'm filled with gratitude for this program.
    Here's to a great, abstinent day!
