Today I feel discouraged. I have 2 active addictions that are both pretty strong. Because I am sober from sex and love addiction, I have been leaning heavily on my food addiction which really bothers me. I have worked extremely hard to lose the weight I have lost but lately I feel as if I am facing an uphill battle. I constantly feel empty and if I won't let love and sex fill that emptiness, then I reach for food. I am honestly not sure what to do except for constantly praying to God. I can't manage nor control these addictions and I am becoming increasingly hopeless by trying to. Because I am no longer actively engaging in my addiction, I have been feeling like I don't have much to look forward to. As screwed up as it sounds, that addiction provided excitement and fulfillment on some level for me.
What if it never gets better? What if I always feel like this in recovery? I don't think I could bear that.
My name is Lisa Marie and I am a recovering love and sex addict. This blog details my recovery and other pertinent information I choose to post. I credit my recovery and sobriety to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. The experience, strength, and hope that I have been blessed to receive has made my recovery possible. I am beyond grateful!
