Sugar Addicts, Big Food’s Annuity Income Plan, & How To Break Free from Sugar’s Enslavement. Bitten Johnson Leg.SSK, Reg.Nurse

I know how many of you feel. Ashamed at constantly failing a diet, ashamed you can’t lose the weight, wondering why you don’t have the willpower, embarrassed you don’t have the means or the time to treat yourself better. Well, there is hope, and that hope starts by admitting we are addicted, meaning we are enslaved to something - sex, drugs, money or sugar.

This episode was a sobering, clear-eyed realization that even someone like myself who is aware of the addictive nature of sugar did not fully appreciate the Thanos-like power sugar possesses and the havoc it is wreaking in people’s lives each and every day.

Bitten Johnson is a recovering addict since September 1985, with several outlets - the number one being sugar. When she looks back, she sees her sugar addiction started at a very young age. When Bitten was four years old, she stole sugar cubes in the kitchen whenever she could.

After being in treatment for alcoholism, a consequence of sugar addiction, Bitten started her journey into recovery. Today, Bitten’s mission is to free addicts, especially sugar addicts, from being a slave to the sweetness.
