Struggling on and off the wagon. I will keep trying. Using different tools and techniques till i get my abstinence back.
Day two just completed and thoroughly enjoyed.
I love how it feels to be abstinent. So silly that I then pick up!
Onwards
Hi PeacefulWater! So nice to have you here. I know all about the "on and off" the wagon cycle. Can you share some tools that help you stay abstinent? I am new to this idea of abstaining from sugar and flour but I truly think it's going to be the only way for me to kick this food addiction. I also love the feeling when I abstain and really feel silly when I pick up- I know how awful I feel, I know the ramifications, I know the blood sugar issues and the cravings that will come with it. So why do I keep going back? I am hoping that once I start working the steps in OA things will be clearer.
Thanks again for joining us...
