Sarah Roberts on Sugar: The Hidden Link to Addiction Recovery
When it comes to building your path for sobriety, but also building your path for how you eat and view your body and treat your body. That was in, and I came out as an alcoholic to my followers, you know, to my community and just letting them know: I'm starting this blog, but there's no way I can start this blog without first sharing the reason why I'm starting this blog, which you know, of course, it's about the food journey, because that is my recovery story, it's a huge part of it, and so I just knew, though, that I could not put this thing out there into the world without being really truthful about why food became such an important part of my life.
What if the food you eat could make or break your journey to sobriety?
