: Hi Cloe

: You are right. I have been focusing
: on the steps. I used to binge a
: lot for the first few months. Then
: it became less frequent. Now I
: can't remember my last binge.

: However, I had gastroenteritis 3.5
: weeks ago, and inadvertently gone
: off sugar for 8 days. Kathleen
: suggested staying off of it and
: just eating fruit and I wished I
: had listened. I was still afraid
: to give it up and went back to my
: usual Step 4/5 diet with the daily
: sugar fix at dinner. Well things
: all went to hell from there.

: I started off with sugar rushes, then
: headaches, next anxiety, lethargy,
: severe tiredness and finally
: debilitating depression to the
: point that I could not even get
: out of bed. I have not had back to
: back days like that since starting
: the program (note: I do take
: medication for depression, but it
: was having no effect this week).

: So out of desperation, I have decided
: to detox again. I didn't know what
: else to do. I wasn't able to
: function. Today is the second day
: and I am already less anxious and
: depressed. At least I could go to
: work. I don't know what the heck I
: did to my system, but I at least
: want to go through with the detox
: and see how I feel at day 5. Then
: what, I haven't a clue.

Yo, Jeffrey...any chance you might ask for help on this rather than lurching around

you must be sugar sensitive or what.
