Rule 62 – “Don’t take yourself so damn seriously”

November 22, 2015 at 9:12 pmGreat job on this episode! I really enjoyed everyone’s insight on the topics. Especially the discussion on how sugar and other addictions can creep in when you stop drinking or using. I am experiencing this right now. I am just shy of six months sober and I have been eating anything with sugar in it like a dope fiend. The other day I was tailgating before a football game, and was feeling a little sorry for myself since I was the only one in a group of 10 not drinking beer, and there on the table was a pan of brownies. We had been there at least 45 minutes and no one had gotten into the brownies yet, so I take off the lid and have a brownie. Then another, and another. I look around to see if anyone has noticed that I quickly inhaled three brownies, it doesn’t appear so, so I quickly eat another three. Before anyone else came over to get a brownie I had already eaten half the pan.
I am now learning and reading up on the neurochemistry associated with sugar and why this is common in early sobriety. It’s pretty damn fascinating.
Thanks again for the episode, love the format.

November 23, 2015 at 6:02 amBrian I hear you brother! It’s terrible! Once I get into the sugar it’s the same as the drugs, one is too many and a thousand is never enough! I love the sugar high but hate the stomach aches and sugar hang over…not to mention the weight gain! We have to keep coming back and to find a way to replace the instant gratification of a sugar fix with a healthy alternative that will also induce a similar dopamine effect like the endorphin release you get from exercise! I like where your heading with the study of neurochemistry! Knowledge is power!
