i can definitely relate to this trading & substituting. 3 months ago i quit smoking crack but i have been eating nonstop & also smoking cigs like crazy. the eating has leveled off somewhat but i still crave my intense sweet fix every day & am aggravated until i get it. ive also had spells of compulsive exercise like exercising all hours of the night and spending hours at the gym but now u wouldnt even know it cuz where ive eaten alot in the past 3 months. ive went on crack binges before where ive lost big amounts of weight in little time & my addict tricky mind says go on a stem fast binge & the weight will drop off. thing is reality is with that stuff u never know when your next hit is your last anything cuz it could cause a stroke or heart attack. just crazy back & forth from one thing to another. i just wish i could be normal.
