The void within, needs to be filled with spiritual food.

The hunger isn't always physical. I found that when I share food with others, if I have enough for one, I have enough for two, I am filling up with spiritual things.

My disease is an allergy (I don`t react to food like others do) and obsession of my mind. Even when I am not eating or using food, I am think of it, and it becomes my whole world. It is about getting, and getting more what ever is on my mind. For me it is chocolate brownies, and I had to turn them over to my Higher Power to have the obsession taken from me.

The same things is that things may appear all negative, but I think if I look, I will find some goodness there. Maybe because that use to be me. I also find that a lot of the recovery stories are all cheer and no reality. It took me three years to realize that life and reality sucked! It is about how I choose to live my life, facing all things as they are, not just as I would have them be. My eating habits are not good. My God and I are working on them, some days are better than others. When I work with my meditation cards, they have a negative and positive side. A friend who introduced me to them said, "If you get a card upside down you need to look at the negative side." Later I told her that I leave all my cards upright, and it is up to me to look at the positive and negative and take ownership, for what is in reality. Most days it is positive, but on other days, I really need to read the negative and what I need to do to change. Try to keep my mind positive. I really have a problem with someone who says they prepared for the worst case scenario, and when it didn't happened he was happy and grateful. This is hot positive, what I put out I attract. There is a really good chance all that negativity will heap itself onto me and I will have to deal with it. I am not my disease, but I can still act out in it today, I have a choice. I am grateful that the person that was is no more. What is good for someone, may not be good for someone else. It is all energy, that can be exchanged, released, accepted, and it passes, and can be different an hour from now, a day from now, or even a year. That is why it is a one day at a time program. Sorry for the long post, something I feel very strongly about.

I do know what I should do, it is up to me as to whether I do it or not.

So much of our pain is triggered by tension. Tension is a big trigger for Fibromyalgia, that is one of the many reason I have to work this program daily and on all aspects of my disease. So many years I stuffed my feelings.

I must never forget, my recover is about today. It isn't about what I did in the past or plan for tomorrow, it is about today.

My goals is to wake up each morning and ask my God for His Care for today and give thanks at night.

A part of that growth was changing the old patterns and behaviours that affected me in today and break the habits, a lot of which were a result of my addiction. It was that hunger and void within me that I wanted to fill and it could only be filled with spiritual things to make the pain go away.

When you turn your day over to the care of the God of your understanding, the good orderly direction is there. Don`t discount it. Contempt prior to investigation, leaves us blocked and we limit our God as to how He can work in our life.

When food takes over my thought patterns, I am in my disease. It is about me getting honest with me.
