Holistic Recovery
So there is a lot of discussion about the chemical relationship and damage to the brain caused by alcoholism and how that keeps us vulernable to relapse.
I thought a thread for whole body healing and information might be useful. After all the brain isn't the only thing involved.
In the last month I have found out I have excessive Candida and an overly acidic Ph balance, both of which are most likely caused by the alcohol abuse. Left unchecked either of these things cannactually trigger physical cravings (both are related to the sugar in alcohol). One of the best things to do for these is cutting sugars out of our diets. I frequently see people in recovery talking about sugar cravings to hold off alcohol cravings, where in reality you are perpetuating the problem.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
