Yes. My transferring didn't start early on. I don't really know why...
But then when my life fell apart I started smoking (again...sigh)
I started drinking (again...sigh)
I didn't have any ill effects, but I knew I was playing with fire.
I went BACK to therapy (on and off over the years-therapy's good stuff)
I went to the root of what was going on with me, and the issue of medicating with alcohol went away.
The nicotine? Welllllllllll I quit smoking and will never smoke again. I know this. But I use the lozenges and gum. And I have no plans on quitting those.
Nicotine is a helluva drug. And yes it's not perfectly healthy.
But I can live with myself if I'm not an overeating obese drunk that puffs on cancer sticks.
I'll just suck on my lozenges, drink my water, eat my good foods, and be very happy that I found ONE cure: WLS
You're not alone sweetie, and god bless you as you find the way to deal with what's at the ROOT of your drive to overeat and then drink. You'll find it. But only if you're looking...so keep looking. You haven't come this far just to fall down with drink okay?
(and no, this is not an advertisement for nicorette-I buy the cheap drug store version)
