Addictions

This lent season i have become very aware of my addictions, where it be food or retail therapy.
i honestly feel very embarrassed to admit this, i feel deep shame that i use these two things as coping mechanisms in my life. Right now i am overcome by this brokenness i feel. There is this disconnect with coping, and instead of looking for ways to deal with the way i feel, i will use things like food or something new to give me artificial, temporary feeling of all is right with the world.
This concept is so new to me that i really don't know how else to process it, or quite honestly how much i want out in cyberland.

Thank you for putting it out there in cyberworld so others know we are not alone. I would be so humiliated if anyone knew what I consumed today to help me "feel better." I appreciate your honesty.
