I Obsess

@ cmilloy: I hope you are doing fine;



I am trying to control my obsessions; thank you for such a great comment

I can so relate to the posts I've read so far. I visited my doctor today and we talked about a few things which I've felt overwhelmed with lately and have now come down around me and crashed. If I go back to my teens, I smoked cigarettes, by the time I reached 22, I was up to 2 packs a day. quit those and switched to exercise. healthy one you would think but not if missing 1 day out of 7 causes one to lose sleep. In my 30's, I found wine. quit that when I was drinking every night. switched to eating and spending money in my 40's and well now I find myself hitting yet another bottom. the doc says that people with addictive personalities are perfect candidates to eat healthy and exercise. the key is to start and in no time, I'll find myself addicted...which is not a bad thing. Why do I always chose things which are bad for me.

I told the doc that I can't run from AA to OA to every other 12 step program because my addictive personality will only cause me to jump from one to another.

Doc says that tomorrow morning, I need to get up at 5 am and exercise for 30 minutes. do this each day till I can't start my day without it. at this point, I have nothing to lose so will give it a try. as for food and spending money, well, I must eat and I ran out of money.

baby steps...I have nothing to lose.

Thanks Bob that's a very nice way of putting it

Sounds like determination sweetie, if nothing else :)

Yes it does, thank you violetluvsrain.
