Hi anna,
I am an alcoholic, so no chance of that happening. I have realized what has caused me to want to numb feelings, events, things has to be addressed. I am actually very happy about this. I use to bury it with food from when I was young. After gastric bypass I found a new addiction. I tried to bury so much for so long that it finally caught up with me. And I am learning that I have to forgive myself. Not sure I can forgive others just yet, but it's a start...at some point I know I will need to, but it will be hard...cuz right now I want to kick the sh*t out of them, which I guess is a good thing.
