You have gotten some great advice here. And it really IS never too late. I came here thinking that I was one of those who was condemned to binging on sugar for the rest of my life. I just started with step one and within a few weeks I started feeling more stable. The binging decreased and my life started getting "stable" for the first time ever. I haven't binged in quite a while now and am only on step 4. So don't panic. Slow and steady seems to be a good way to do this program

: hope it's not too late for me to
: really recover from the horrid
: sugar addiction, I hope I can in
: time, balance my brain/body
: chemistry and live a free life.

: I want to focus on the simple beauty
: and experience of living in the
: moment. I want clarity and to get
: rid of this brain fog.

: Problem is, I don't know why I am so
: terrified to DO this. something
: about eating more times a day,
: eating breakfast, and all the
: protein feels overwhelming. I
: guess I don't have confidence that
: I can really quit the sugar for
: good. What if I'm one of those
: people who's stuck with the
: addiction of sugar for life =(

: I hate this way of living. I can't
: stop after a small bite of
: frosting, cake, the list goes on
: and I am just a haywire,
: overdriven mess because the
: cravings literally take over me.

: I'm sorry to complain. I need to get
: this out of my system and I feel
: its the only place I can be
: understood.

: So...on a more positive note...is it
: possible to still recover? I hope
: i'm not too late...i'm 28, and I'm
: willing to handle it all - the
: brutal tough love / criticism,
: anything it takes to keep me on
: track. I know relapses are natural
: but I just don't want to give up.
: Life's too precious and I want to
: just have simple, healthful eating
: that can prevent the sugar
: insanity...
