Hiding from feeling

Wow just been listening to a radio show about eating and drinking disorders. Many people in recovery struggle with both alcohol AND food disorders. This issue is so common you often hear food addiction referred to as a "sister" addiction to alcoholism. The interview was really interesting and touched on something for me around eating or drinking to blanket feelings of loneliness. I think I have been doing this for a long time, I feel lonely. And it's ok to feel lonely and to just sit with it, it will pass in time. Awesome, love it. I have a long way to go but I'm really enjoying focusing on the learning and exploring new ways of thinking, the me that has been hidden behind things in the past.
