On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Nicole is here with us bringing an inquiry about what I call the real gateway drug. Of course, I'm speaking about sugar. Nicole asks: Am I addicted to sugar? Should I abstain completely or is there a place of moderation? Now, I believe that addressing one's relationship with food and sugar in particular is a central part of recovery for everyone. In Nicole's case, she let go of alcohol several years ago and wants to take her recovery journey to the next level by addressing her relationship with food.  I've seen countless people stuck in the frequency of addiction because they stay in old addictive patterns when it comes to food. This is one of the most important inquiries when it comes to true recovery as we need to be present in our minds and bodies to address the underlying reasons for our food cravings.  Tommy discusses Changing your relationship with foodWhat is the root cause of your cravings?Does our microbiome affect the foods we crave?Learning to be conscious with our food choicesWhy the food we eat can make a huge impact on recovery Looking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?
