I try to take care of myself physically, I've learned that a big part of my addiction is enhanced by an imbalance of neurochemicals in the brain. If I exercise, eat right, sleep enough, it's easier to fight those addictions because I'm creating lots of serotonin, dopamine, etc. naturally rather than grabbing some chocolate or looking for drama from a dysfunctional relationship, which is always a temporary fix and always leaves me back where I started.

Note:

The "Thoughts of the Day" are from members of various 12 step programs. Some are A.A., some Al-Anon, and some Adult Children of Alcoholics. Take what you need and leave the rest!
