Keep posting--I am comforted because I know that I am understood here. |
me too.
i also have a multi-layered "addiction".. i always thought that my problem was just alcohol, and that i was a textbook alcoholic.. but strangely i have a much bigger problem with food and binge eating.. by that i mean, i CAN have a few drinks and stop without obsessing or wanting more.. and i also quit smoking 6 mos ago after 15 years, and am doing perfectly fine as a nonsmoker.. but MAN.. once i've had 1 piece of cake, 1 cookie, etc.. all bets are off and i'm on a CRAZY tear. it's weird.. how one addiction replaces another.
sadly, i fear that i may always have to live with this issue and attempt to keep myself in check and abstain from certain things and really watch myself.. and be aware of WHAT makes me want to abuse things in excess, and just as importantly, remind myself constantly of how HORRRIBLE i will feel if i allow myself to do so.
i don't post a lot here, but i definitely use this site as a tool during weak moments, or when i'm feeling reflective about my own progress and want to see what other people are going through.
