Curiosity kept me up last night watching Courtney Love’s return from a 6yr hiatus to the Davis Letterman Show. I don’t know, watching her has always been akin to watching a car wreck – a disaster in progress that you just can’t turn away from. But last night was different. She spoke openly and honestly about her addiction and how it was “self-medicating” and her words hit home for me.
As some of you may know, I’m an emotional eater and last night was wrestling with the almost overwhelming desire to hit the kitchen for my drug of choice – peanut butter.
So imagine my suprise when, as I was trying to distract myself by watching what I was thought might be another fiasco, I came face-to-face with truth from such an unlikely source. Stopped me in my tracks and made me consider what was really important to me.
I was also pleasantly suprised to hear her mention her Life Coach in the core group of people who help her keep focused on what’s important to her.
Thank you Courtney Love for mirroring life advice to this recovering PB junkie.
