I am not alone anymore

Hi all, I attended my regular meeting last night and it was such an inspiration I thought I would share it. The topic was substituting one substance for another. Most people were talking about food. WOW! Imagine a room full of addicts, most came to the group due to drugs and alcohol. Today many of them struggle with food issues. We talked about how we can use the tools of recovery to deal with it. One woman is having wls next week. I cannot tell you how good it felt to be with people who understand and to be able to support someone else starting the wls journey. Those of you in a recovery program know what I am talking about. Those of you who are sitting on the fence about trying it.... well all I can say is give it a chance. Pain is a reality, suffering an option. I hope you all have a good day. One day at a time, Laurie
