Press Release Summary: Life Coach Carrie Eddins shares her secrets of overcoming her
decade-long addiction to chocolate in her forthcoming book 'Chocolate
Rehab.' In her
book she details how she looked deeply into her addiction on a mental, emotional,

it.
Press Release Body: Worcestershire, England, UK, May 27th 2008. Carrie Eddins openly
discusses her serial addiction of over a decade in her book 'Chocolate
Rehab,' after
checking herself into her own 'chocolate rehab clinic,' in early
2004, after being
fed up with not being able to overcome her addictin, she finally took it seriously
and began her research.
Carrie looked deeply into this socially-acceptable addiction, on a mental,
emotional, nutritional, lifestyle, sexual, energetic and spiritual level as she
addiction had often been laughed off by many, which however had nearly eaten her
spirit! In so doing, what Carrie discovered was just how deep her addiction went,
from being a child of divorced parents, to having seriously low self-esteem, and in
fact hating herself and hating men, and not even considering how she could be
attractive to them nor even considering herself to be remotely intelligent, hence
she devoured more and more chocolate.
This perpetual, often daily consumption of chocolate kept her depressedm lonely, and
very fed up, until she decided to finally take her addiction seriously once and for
all, which is the message of her book, that addiction to chocolate is not taken very
seriously as it is so socially-acceptable, hence the title.
Her journey led her to facing up and letting go of her parent's
divorce and the pain
she had felt from it, to learning to become her own best friend as opposed to her
own worst enemy, to having colonics and seeing how she could balance her body out
nutritionally, to starting to view men in a much healthier and more balanced way.
She also looked at other options of having that 'orgasmic feel,'
of a chocolate bar,
to really looking at what she really wanted out of life and how she could contribute
her gifts to the world. Essentially, Carrie in her own 'Chocolate
Rehab clinic,'
looked at her addiction to chocolate on a mental, emotional, nutritional, sexual,
energetic, lifestyle, and spiritual level, which eventually once those aspects of
her life were balanced, proved to provide her with her successful outcome of finally
overcoming her addiction, after nearly three and half years of research.
In her book, 'Chocolate Rehab,' Carrie writes about some of the
touching, poignant
and often embarassingly honest aspects of her journey in an effort to really see how
she could help inspire other women to do the same, to take their addiction to
chocolate seriously so as to learn how to indulge less in chocolate and more in
life! * The book is aimed at women, but some male chocolate addicts might like it
too.
