Hi all,
Continuing with the alphabet theme, B is, of course, for Breakfast. The Radiant Recovery program heals addiction through nutrition and Breakfast is the first of the 7 steps. It is the foundation for everything that follows. Check above in the 7 Steps tab to find out about the details of Step 1, Breakfast.

I did only the Breakfast step for about a year and a half. Even with just that step, I experienced some pretty major improvements in my life. I was interested in trying this program as a way to improve my mood. I'd been consistently depressed to some degree for all of my adult life. And moody and angry and socially inept and self loathing and underemployed...you get the picture.

I chose a protein shake for Breakfast. During the time I was doing only step one I began being able to speak to my co workers, my anger settled so that I wasn't yelling at the kids. I wasn't sulking in a corner over imagined failings or insults. The depression lifted so that I could manage without antidepressant medication for the first time in a decade.

It was good.

And it only got better when I took the leap to do the rest of the steps. But I'll have to think of the letter C to continue the tale.

Thanks for listening,
janice
