It's designed to keep doing the things that are sustaining you. So it's just a huge signal that tells you: like it's an artificial signal, because crystal meth is not good for you. Obviously, we all know that it's one of the worst things for you, but your brain doesn't understand that.
Ever wondered how sugar can grip your life like a vice? Jonathan Cranford knows this struggle all too well. On this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', hosted by Dr. Adina Silvestri, Cranford opens up about his battle with sugar addiction and the pivotal moment that made him take control. At 37, he found himself staring into a garbage can, contemplating his next move in life.
This moment of clarity led him to develop three crucial steps to combat sugar addiction, which he shares in this enlightening conversation. Cranford dives into how his early views on religion and an 'angry form of Christianity' influenced his identity and choices. He challenges the notion that willpower alone can break addiction, calling it a 'lie'. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the psychological tricks sugar plays on our brains, likening its impact to that of crystal meth.
During the episode, Cranford and Dr. Silvestri explore practical strategies for overcoming sugar cravings. From controlling your food environment to practicing mindfulness and tracking cravings, these tips are designed to help you regain control. Cranford also touches on the connection between sugar addiction and depression, highlighting how breaking free from sugar can improve your overall mood and well-being.
In a world where food is everywhere and physical distancing is the norm, Cranford shares his unique approach to staying socially connected while physically isolated. His message to the Atheists in Recovery community is clear: with the right tools and mindset, overcoming sugar addiction is possible.
