As much as I hate to admit it, I’m an addict

November 8, 2017 by LeslieThornton

I didn’t always like or want to admit it,

But I always could identify with the word addiction.

There were plenty of times in my life where I felt out of control of myself–

Out of control with my eating,

my drinking.

I’m quite sure that if I was given the opportunity, or had a different upbringing, I could have most definitely ended up a full-blown addict like you might see on TV.

I know myself and I know I like to “feel good.”

I like to feel “different.”

I like to feel “high.”  

So how does one who likes to feel high all the time still live a life that feels satisfying without the things that make life feel good, i.e., drugs and alcohol and excess food?

When I stopped drinking initially in 2010 I learned that

I had no idea who I was and what I liked to do outside of drinking and socializing

…and eating.

And it scared me.

Who was I?

How come I didn’t know what I liked to do?

Luckily I was dating someone at the time who also didn’t drink.

Together we did things like go dancing

We went to the movies a lot

and we’d act really silly together–

Making stupid jokes and laughing until we cried.

It was beautiful really, and I had never felt more free.

You see, what I’ve found is that drinking and drugging and unnecessary eating is really just a very uncreative and lazy way to get my needs met.

And quite frankly, a waste of what can really be a pretty spectacular life.

To be clear, just because I feel this way, doesn’t mean that you have to feel this way too.

People’s brains are wired differently.

People are all at different stages and places in their lives where they may or may not relate.

It’s all ok.

I just know for me, this is the only road to happiness.

Now that I’m sober, I spend my time and my energy, focusing on things like travel and other people and doing things that make me really happy and feel extremely alive.

Things that make me feel high without being high.

For me that’s found in things like:

  • Deep personal connection
  • New experiences and grand adventures
  • Kundalini yoga
  • Ecstatic Dance
  • Live music events

And I now have the time and the resources and the energy to do all these things

Whereas before, when I was hung over or just tired in general from constantly go-go-going, I didn’t.

I was blessed to meet someone so young who didn’t drink to offer me the opportunity to really get to know myself and live my most authentic life.

I feel like it was meant to be.

Maybe so that I could be sitting here and writing this for you today.

So let me ask you this.

  • Do you really know yourself?
  • Are you really happy?
  • Do you know that you could or want to be doing more with your life than you currently are?

Please know that if you don’t, or that if you used to but currently don’t, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault that you’re here right now.

You just might be ready for a little bit of coaching from someone

  • Who really gets you
  • Who understands where you are now
  • And who can support you in going where you want to go–

Even if you don’t know where exactly that is right now.

So I’d like to open something up for you if you can relate.

To the first 5 people who sign up, I’m offering a free 30 minute phone conversation to be scheduled with me in the next 2 weeks to support you in getting clear on your path right now.

Together we will discuss:

  • Where you are right now
  • Where you want to go
  • Where you are feeling stuck

And by the end I’ll let you know what I think might really behoove you to try

That could be something that I offer in my practice

Or maybe it’ll be something else.

My intention is to serve you either way.

And of course, whatever you share with me is 100% confidential.

How does that sound?

Pretty good?

I will say you’re not going to want to wait to sign up for this.

I have people on this mailing list from all over the world who respond frequently to my weekly emails.

I am confident these spaces will fill up quickly.

So go ahead and sign up for you 30 minute time slot now if you’re ready and serious about getting clear

And let’s get you starting to feel good!

Really good, without all the nonsense.

We all deserve to feel really good, after all.

I love you and I hope to be speaking to you real soon,

 

With love and support,

 

Leslie
