I am a feeler. All my life I have had big emotions but for a long time I pushed them down deep, self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. I was trying to fill up with numbness so I didn’t have to feel anything at all. Now that drugs and alcohol no longer serve me and the life I live, I use my first “drug” of choice - FOOD.

This sounds weird because don't we feel every day, all day? Isn’t life just a series of situations with waves of feelings and emotions?? 🤷🏽♀️Well, yes and no.
