Episode 53: Are you Using Substances to fill the Void?

What types of substances do you use to fill that void inside your soul? Some call it our God-shaped hole. Or maybe it just feels to you like an aching or a yearning, tugging you towards that glass of wine or the bag of Hershey's Kisses. 
For many years, I unconsciously used alcohol, compulsive exercise, sugar, and romantic crushes to fill that need inside of me. Luckily I've now learned where that impulse to use substances comes from. For me, it comes from lack of connection. 
How do we gain connection? I do it through connecting with others who love and care about me, calling them, spending time with them, sharing detatils about our days. I connect with the universe/God through my morning prayers and meditation. I also connect to source through gratitude. There's something about listing items I'm grateful for that pulls me closer to contentedness.
