Hi Kimberly, it's nice to have you here!

I know it is hard to understand, but just working on step 1 is all that is needed right now. Put your focus and energy into breakfast. What we need to do is add in things first...things like protein, complex carbs, and even learning new habits, like eating on time and every day! I ate sugar up until the end, but now I don't crave, and I'm much more happy and calm than before the program.

You might even enjoy the Recovery group, which helps people who have alcohol or drug addictions. You can find that group by clicking on the Make Connections link at the top of the page...then click on the Join our Online Group...and then look for the RadiantRecovery group, towards the bottom of the page.
