I really hope that the last 2 months of experience trying to abstain from carbohydrate and sugar help me lay the foundation to my recovery moving ahead.
I realize that temptations are everywhere.
My urges and craving come and go, some time it is weak some time it is strong.
There is nothing to be proud if I could continue to stay abstinent when the urge and craving is weak. It will be a big trial when the strong urge and craving arrive. Without a strong spiritual foundation, I only manage to stay abstinent from carbohydrate and sugar for 14 days in my first attempt, 10 days in my second, 2 days in my third.
”I” only lasted 2 days before I give in to the craving and slip on the 3rd attempt trying to abstain from carbohydrate.
What are my chances with gambling, alcohol, borrowing, porn and others?
I will experience the same level of urge and craving. Temptation will be everywhere.
While I continue to “try” to stay abstinent immediately after slipping, the growing weight loss is showing my growth in recovery.
I did not continue to binge and spiral out of control into another rock bottom.
