Re: What step am I on? (Emotinal state)
In Response To: What step am I on? ()

Thanks everyone for the support. It is really helpful to feel community.

I went over the feelings/emotional column of my journal for the few days prior to the binge. If I read between the lines, I see a lot of resentment and anger of having to push the sugar to meal time. My diseased brain still wants to be a "wild party boy" and go for the crazy drama of the SUPER BE hit. Of course we all know where this leads. It seems this is part of my struggle.

As I progress with RR I get resentful like a bratty kid and then want to act out. Eventually I seem to have a break through and get back on track or move forward to be exact. Maybe there is some acceptance here that this is part of my journey.
