Great job, Carolyn, timely reminder!!! What you have learned is the truth for most of us, “The surprising and devastating truth was that just a little bit [of candy] opened the emotional and physical clamor for more.” Here is one key to understanding the Word of Wisdom. The Lord wants us to get rid of addictions of all kinds. It isn’t just sugar we are addicted to, it is also highly processed foods and high fat foods of all kinds, including meat and dairy. Anything we have trouble eating “sparingly,” anything that encourages binge eating is probably something that is “easier to just not have any at all than deal with this reality.” Let’s say goodbye to addiction! Goodbye to bondage! Hello freedom! Readers can find my articles on the Word of Wisdom here: https://meridianmag.wpengine.com/author/jane-birch/
