I agree that addiction and core work are the big things at work here...been really doing that dance myself recently, and it ain't easy!

Funny, I found myself changing my external circumstances to create something where I would HAVE to do the work on my inner stuff and break my bad habits. It's still a struggle though, because i find myself acting almost automatically and then the next day have to ask myself "what was that?" "where was I?" cuz it's like I literally check out and go unconscious.
during the day, I am on task and walking on my path with real effort and consciousness, and then when the kids go to bed, i just turn off and check out...what's interesting was the part of the article that says that most addictions (food, drink, etc) are really regarding isolation....and for me it is boredom as well. there's plenty of things I can do to reconnect and be in alignment with spirit...but i end up choosing the option to 'check out'

however, this is the time to just shake it off and realign. there's no time to waste, the earth is changing too fast now and definitely feel the 'sink or swim' energies at work!

thanks for sharing
