Addicts mind
I got sober a little over two years ago but today I realized that I'm still struggling with wanting more, more, more. No matter what it is. It's not drugs or alcohol anymore which is great. Instead it's everything else – food, shopping, exercise, hydration, journaling…. Everything! And I'm learning that even if I'm doing things that are considered "good" for me, doing them too much can be bad. So I'm learning to find that balance and I think realizing it this way will help me pull back when I feel that I'm wanting to eat more and more carrots and potatoes, drink more and more water, stay in my cold shower for more and more time, journal my every thought more and more, add a new exercise to my routine, etc etc. It must be a dopamine thing, always looking for that next hit of dopamine no matter how. I'm grateful that I see that I have an addicts mind because it will help me navigate being healthy but in a healthier way if that makes sense.
