I'd be interested to hear from others about their addictions and how they overcame them. I had a breakthrough, I realised that I can only give up stuff if it has ethical, environmental AND health concerns for me.

Strangely I thought that just the health concerns were enough - but they aren't.

Giving up McDonalds (another former addiction) was easy because it ticked all three concerns. Giving up meat for me, followed a similar process. I'm still working on dairy, but I fundamentally believe it'… Continue

Everything is going pretty good. I'm about 50 - 75% raw consistently, although Christmas parties are proving to be difficult. I'm in a good place around it though, and don't beat myself up over it anymore.
