It is a long story, but I would say I was stuck in self-destructive behaviors that resulted after a rape by a member of the staff at the Catholic Church I went to school at and worked for 14
I became alcoholic, addict, and we use anything to numb myself, including awful Men
I began getting clean and sober 21 one I started working with my first therapist and hit a big devastating bottom
Now my addictions are. That might be the worst it gets.
I'm so sorry that you were raped. How horrible and all the consequences from that. Thanks for sharing so openly and deeply. We need to take away the shame of what happened to us and stand together in power.
Quitting sugar is so hard. I haven't mastered that one yet. Maybe I need a doctor to tell me so, too? I think a little carbs are actually good for us but definitely not the sugar. Good luck. I agree that if you don't have one, you won't keep craving more. It's a vicious cycle!!
It is a vicious cycle. When I'm craving a snack, the new me eats popcorn, nuts, or a bowl of berries with whipped cream. Believe it or not, whipped cream has hardly any carbs!
It would be easier for me to give up alcohol than chocolate. I'm in the "everything in moderation" camp until I hear otherwise! Good for you, Ilona, to give up the good stuff!

Yes, I have. This is very relatable. I love the line. It grew legs and arms.
I find it hardest one there is stress and I try to spend time doing things that I love like yoga, walks in nature with our dog, saunas, cold plunges…
I just finished a series on Netflix. I do believe I get addicted. I tell myself that I’m relaxing and checking out the busyness, but we’ll see.
Thank you for this verbal and well and formed essay,
Ps I am very familiar with the 12 step steps and used to be a regular for many years.
One moment at a time.

I love the 12 steps. I think they are essential for everyone. Yes, one moment at a time - a creed to live by.

And moderation is subjective, isn't it? Thanks for chiming in.
I tried to give up sugar, but kissing you is the sweetest thing on Earth! - Your hubby :)
