Anyone else trade one ‘addiction’ for another ? I think I’ve pin pointed where I’m going wrong. I keep over doing ‘being good’ -training everyday, eating healthy, perhaps not eating enough , then I eventually feel exhausted and drained then i get depressed then I slip up - really need to find some balance!

Very common, you’re self aware, so that is good. Finding and kerping balance can be hard to do, but you are aware of your patterns so that is the first step.

Yes i did aa meetings too… they help keep me busy and sober..
I have had a significant amount of sober time and then slipped up too…
How long did you do?, I got to 48 days then threw it all away
I’ve definitely started eating more since I stopped drinking. Something that I’m trying to be much better about.
unfortunately I’m the king at being cross addicted when I was in high school I obviously I started smoking weed and then after that I graduated to cocaine when I was 20 years old partied on that till I was about 26 then I decided to start doing pharmaceutical pills and when I was 28 years old I got diagnosed with epilepsy and had a seizure first day on the job that I started and when I came to my body was horribly sore so I decided to play doctor and decide it while these pills aren’t working let me try heroin at the time I thought I was smart but the joke’s on me but not anymore because I got sick and tired of dealing with grief and death due to my addictions in my actions and now I’m going on 33 days of being clean and I thank God everyday also I think my brother who passed away March 7th of this year from a drug overdose me and him planned on getting clean together but sometimes life plays a weird game on you so that’s my story

Ive had many journeys. THE most i had is 2 yrs and 10 months
I get that for sure. I’m kinda like well I’m not drinking so I guess I deserve to eat that tub of cookie dough ice cream. One step at a time I suppose. Definitely a work in progress for the whole mind, body, spirit business.
