Awesome stuff! Fasting has really awakened me to the fact that I've not been using food for food's sake for 90% of my life, but to numb something, it even lead to me developing binge eating disorder for most of my teens. It's good to see people talking about this
When I quit drinking alcohol I had the same realization that you're having now - how often I buried the feelings with a glass of wine after work. Quitting drinking was the easy part, sitting with the feels was much harder. Thanks for sharing your journey with us Tim.
It has been awhile! Between life and the changes here on Substack I’ve found myself in, then out, then in, then out. That’s life I guess. Anyway, it’s nice to reconnect and I hope to keep seeing you around🙂

Donna, it’s been a while! You’re right, addictions and cravings all seem connected or similar to each other. We tend to avoid discomfort at any cost.
