: Hi everyone,

: my dad was sugar sensitive.
: Nothing has worked for me. I used

: some other addictions including
: using work and exercise to
: distract me from all the pain in

: recovery in many ways. I've
: stopped drinking and bought every
: book going on quitting sugar.
: Nothing has worked. The consultant
: at hospital has also said I should
: lose weight.
: I often feel very angry with myself
: that I am eating a lot of sugar
: when I know it is detrimental to
: me in so many ways. I haven't been

: gave it up a few years ago and has
: virtually never eaten in since. I

: Potatoes not Prozac and this forum

Hi Rosie,

I am glad you are here. I wouldn't waste your time being angry
The definition of addiction is *continued use despite adverse consequence* so I
think you fit right in
You dont working on stopping it until stpe 6. Are you on the step 3 list. Are you learning how to do
step 3? Do you have the chart of the nano steps for step 3.
Let's get concrete
