Wow, this was great to hear from so many that I haven't talk to before. Thanks for joining in.

I truely believe that addiction is addiction...whether it be food or alcohol or other substance....or even sex (ssshhhhh, to talk about such things...lol) and relationships. It is all interconnected... and sometimes you can be abstinent from one, but really you are substituting one for the other. What I mean is that say you give up smoking....many turn to food to fill that habit of smoking....drinking is the same as is with all substance abuse. We use it to fill whatever void is causing us pain and we want to numb it.

Being in touch with your body and feelings is a very important step to changing to healthier lifestyle habits. Knowing how you are emotionally and physically feeling is a huge step to eating healthier and making much better choices for one's self.

Thanks again for joining me on this....
