Jelly Roll

Because once I recognized a pattern, my three R's changed it for me.

It was reset, reconnect, reengage.

So every time I would go into my pantry to eat something because I'm a binge eater, I'd stop.

My therapist taught me this, that onsite.

I'd stop and I'd reset.

So I'd step out.

First thing, get out of the pantry.

I have no business in here.

Bad place for me.

Go somewhere I'm safe where I can connect.

Near my wife or somewhere safe.

Reconnect.

What was you in a pantry for?

What version of you, what storyline of yours walked in that pantry?

Was it 15-year-old Jelly that thought he was a gangbanger and thought he was a thug that was just trying to be cool that was actually a sad little boy that couldn't connect with people?

Is that the boy that just walked in there and tried to eat some cookies?

Or is this a 35-year-old man, a 39-year-old man that's stressed from work?

I tell you what you're not in there eating the cookies for is because you need them.

You just ate a great meal.

You feel fucking awesome.
