Healthy. That’s the word that keeps echoing for me today. My latest blood tests came back clean — no diabetes, no red flags, nothing to monitor. Just a simple confirmation that my body is stable and well.
I also received my WINZ Disability Allowance form back from my doctor, stamped and signed.
Under “Substance Use Disorders,” it says none. Alcohol was my big issue. I’ve been sober for over 13 months now and the blood test result reflect that.
Seeing that in writing matters more than I expected. It’s a quiet acknowledgement of the work I’ve done, the choices I’ve made, and the life I’m building.
Healing isn’t only emotional or creative. Sometimes it shows up in the numbers, the forms, and the official paperwork. Today I’m letting myself feel proud of that.
As I move forward, Once I receive it, I’m planning to use my green‑card prescription to start swimming and gentle gym sessions. It feels like a natural extension of everything I’ve been working toward — a way of strengthening not just my body, but the sense of trust I’m rebuilding in it.
There’s something reassuring about choosing movement from a place of health rather than urgency. Yesterday’s results give me a quiet confidence, and I’m letting myself adjust accordingly.
