Hi Don,

I absolutely love your writing style and your insight. Consider me a fan and an ardent supporter on this journey with you.

I believe in carb addiction. As a former drug addict, I recognize all too well the feeling of being bereft of something right now (I'm on day #3) and the need for a substance to bring comfort to my aching mind and body. It's not so different than heroin addiction. It doesn't manifest into full-blown "dope-sick" in quite the same way, of course, but there's no denying the longing, and much like using Methadone or Suboxone to ease the symptoms, low-carb substitutes leave a little to be desired. Until my body learns to accept them, anyway. This first week or so is the toughest. I'm aware of it and ready to face it.

Depression is another familiar issue thrown into the mix and one can exacerbate the other. I'm glad you're here, and I'll be checking out your journal...

Your friend,
Kim
