Sugar addict/ Drug addict

[sweetspirit241]

Its kinda funny how 2 years ago when I got clean from methamphetamine ( the only thing that cured my obbsesion with food) I went right back to me favorite drug of choice... FOOD!
I always thought it was unfair that I couldnt be abstinent from food like I was from drugs, However now I realize it wasnt food, I wasnt a pig ect... I was a sugar addict, very sick in my addiction. well now I am abstinent from sugar I have done so much to get my life back together, got out of a 15 year violent mariage, got off drugs, got babtized, started healing my old wounds and helping my kids heal theirs, got my GED, and now I have 3 months left before I graduate community college, and finaly the last and biggest addiction... learned about my sugar addiction, I had to go on faith, had to forget about everything I ever knew about DIETS and trusted in the atkins aproach, I was sure after 2 weeks on it I was gonna gain 10lbs, lol. now I got my step mom on it! and im preachen to anyone who will listen, lol. anyway I love this board, thanks for letting me ramble, im just feeling very happy and greatfull today

what a great job you have done reclaiming your life. a colege grad Atkineer coming up in a month wow what a turnaround.

I always tell out induction flu folk they are just like drug addicts looking for their next fix and sufferring because of the withdrawls from their carb addiction.

:hug I love your beautiful story, very touching. I love the way you looked within and could see what was really going on. I too am an ex sugar addict, it leads to other addictions and mine was alcohol, in particular beer. You're doing fantastic and girl keep up the good work. Wow, you're an inspiration for us all. See ya around.

Your story made me cry! That is really great that you have been able to get yourself together, thanks for posting. We are all on this journey together, we all have things we have to overcome, I guess sugar addiction is nothing compared to drug addiction, but those first two week! Everytime I think about cheating I think about having to go through that induction flu again, it keeps me strong!
