I don’t want to discuss a specific event but rather a period of my life. I want to focus this project on my sophomore through the end of my junior year and my struggle with gluttony throughout it. I have had a difficult scrap with regulation throughout that period, specifically with substances like alcohol and nicotine as well as shopping and food. I think of this as a rather destructive cycle of myself consuming as much of these things as I could endure. At the very height I was drinking a handle, and a pack of cigarettes a day as well as buying as much clothing and eating as much as I could hold. It took a lot of self reflection and therapy for me to break out of cycle of destruction and I have cut my consumption of all these things down to a very healthy level. I realized that these things had a profound impact on the people that I care about around with as they watched me descend into a pit of misery. It was quite a difficult thing to achieve but I have come out the other side much healthier. Other than the clothing I have from this era I don’t have any of these items on hand as they serve as temptation to repeat the cycles that I have fought to break.
