Sobriety and Food Connection

It has been longer than I anticipated for my follow-up on this subject. Regarding food and Sobriety connection. My own analysis is what I am about to dive deeper into for you.

As mentioned in my first post on food and sobriety connection I changed what I ate. Instead of carb loading, I went Keto. Indeed cutting out all that sugar I found it calmed me. Furthermore cutting out sugar no longer had me consumed with daily anxiety.

Too Much To Deal With

I briefly mentioned depression, didn’t I? This stemmed from that daily anxiety. It came in many forms and I would get waves of panic at the thought of opening mail. As well as not being honest with my husband for fear of him getting cross. Additionally knowing something wasn’t right I couldn’t defend myself. Oddly and unexpectedly my change of food lessened these feelings of fear. I became more adept at dealing with uncomfortable situations.

Have you ever gone to bed at night to wake up with the same thoughts running through your head? Thoughts flick from the last song you heard again and again to something you said that upset someone. Lying awake trying to remember what that row you had was about? I did, and with a clear unsugared head, I began to observe these irrational nights.

Alcohol is not my superpower

I hereby expose the power of alcohol. Lowering my consumption of sugar steadied me enough to see what I was doing. It enabled me to concentrate and I began to learn and educate myself on the effects of Alcohol. Did you know it really affects your sleep? As well as your mood, and of course weight.

The more I learned the more I didn’t want to drink, but that alone still wasn’t enough to stop me. Being calm and collected I managed to cut back. All the while educating myself on the poison we call fun. That is how I feel food is helping me with my sobriety.
