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. More specifically – SUGAR. I turn to sugar for all occasions and it calls to me. It is a craving that is almost unstoppable. Sugar helps me to turn off the feelings and forget for a little while.

He gave the estimated number of people that die in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona trying desperately to leave Mexico and enter the US. I was overcome with shock, grief and despair. This big wide world we live in is a terrible place sometimes. Innocent people die, the sick cannot get help, the hungry continue to go hungry and the rich keep getting richer.
