Cravings

Hi all

Just got back from work and my head is full of food, want to binge but i know this is just a feeling and i don't have to react to it.

Just put pen to paper to see where it's coming from and hey ho, resentment and tiredness are at the root of it.

I am so grateful today that i have a blue print for life in the twelve steps, before recovery i reacted to everything by bingeing or purging. I'm sure i was born without the part in my brain that gives me the rules to life and am so glad i found the twelve steps. They give me the ability to live sanely in the world most of the time as long as i keep bring myself to them with willingness.

Today i turn my will over to HP and leave the results up to him, i put one foot in front of the other and do the next right thing.

So glad i found this site, its great to have somewhere to share when i can't get anyone on the phone. I am definetly adding this to my gratitude list tonight.

Love always
Biscuits

Hi there Biscuits. I'm glad that you've come to share this with us. I'm sorry that it took me so long to reply.

That was very wise of you to go straight to journaling your feelings & thoughts instead of giving in to the cravings that you were having. I know to do this, but I have trouble remembering to do it at the time of my chaos.

One thing that I've learned about myself is that I get resentful when I'm too tired. I always thought that my emotions were just emotional, but now I'm learning how extremely my tiredness affects me physically.

You certainly made the best choice to turn this over to your HP and then just do the next right thing. Very wise.

Well, I am glad that you've shared with us and I hope that you'll keep coming back here to give & to get support.
((((((((((((((Supportive Hugs))))))))))))))))))
