I’m actually driving around right now due to being super frustrated. Stopped at 3 Liqour stores and never went in. I feel your pain! Loneliness is horrible and has fucked me up in the past! These are things that have been working for me for now, the gym, ride my bike, and go to church. Doesn’t mean it takes it away but helps me find the strength to keep fighting. But like I said for now. One day at a time I keep seeing

Your so welcome,and so proud of you:). The book is going to seem repetitive, but trust me it works, everything she is saying and doing in the book is for a purpose, after you read this naked mind, you will be free😊

It does almost seem like that when you start reading it, but that is certainly not her intentions. That’s why she has you join her 30 day experiment at the end of the book. I certainly do still struggle a lil even after the book. But I’ve read it four times, and its tought me how to be good in social situations for sure

That is not what it’s about
Have you ever read Codependent No More? I was a world champion people pleaser and that book, and the ones that followed it, changed my life. It also relates directly to how our brains work as addicts.

I’m gonna make a list of books. Thank you for the title!!! 
Thank you Kevin!!! Okay, I will not return it and give it a read. If it has such scientific facts as the one you just mentioned then I would be a fan. Moderation is definitely not for me, no way no how, I am glad that I learned that through my mistakes. Finishing off my day 15 strong, thanks to you all wonderful sweet people.
