I mentioned yesterday that "hurting people tend to resort to compulsive behaviors to cope with the pain".
What are your thoughts on that statement?
If you've read my story, you'll know that I grew up in church. For me, it was a place of peace. I learned to respect myself and others, and I developed a strong sense of accountability. Over the years, I learned the true meaning of selflessness and the act of giving.
But, somehow, while living my life, things became very complicated..

- I gained weight.
- I had become disillusioned with my career.
- Even my faith in God was faltering.
