Addiction can be excruciating, no matter what it is we are addicted to. Scientifically
speaking, every addictive substance reaches our brain via the same dopamine pathway.
So one can be addicted to alcohol, drugs, coffee, carbs and even sugar – the hold is
superhuman all the same. Karen Thomson, an entrepreneur and a best-selling author,
has also battled alcohol and cocaine addiction, but she believed sugar to be her most
prominent foe.
Karen has been enjoying her sugar and substance-free life for many years now. She
has even founded relevant platforms to combat addictions like hers: The Sugar-Free
Revolution and Super Sexy Sobriety.
Since childhood, Karen used to soothe herself with sugar. A piece of cake and a fizzy
drink would provide her safety, comfort, and happiness like no other. A turning point
came when she realized that she was addicted to sugar and used it to calm her from
emotional triggers. Once she accepted that, she did her best to abstain from excessive
consumption and after a while, the effect sugar had on her was not as intense.
When you have been through something yourself personally, you are more empathetic
towards a cause. That’s why, after combating her own addiction, Karen founded The
Sugar-Free Revolution. It is an eight-week online program aimed at helping others
addicted to carbs and sugar. She has also launched Harmony Eating & Lifestyle
Program (HELP)- an in-patient addiction continuum care.
Karen also successfully recovered from alcohol and cocaine addiction when she was 24
years old. One day, she checked herself into rehab for ten months; today, she is 18
years sober. Keeping in line with The Sugar-Free Revolution, she has started a new
venture called Super Sexy Sobriety, which aims to inspire people to embrace sobriety
and look at it as something ‘sexy.’ Karen has incredible and exciting things planned for
Super Sexy Sobriety, including a soon-to-be-launched podcast and a coaching platform.
As the name implies, Super Sexy Sobriety is supposed to make one feel sexy, wild,
and free. The glowing Karen Thomson is a living proof of that. Moreover, she has made
her life sweet – even without the sugar. Her passion, energy, confidence, and
authenticity inspire lives every day.
Lastly, she is a massive believer in one’s own capabilities and courage; no one can stop
you if you wish to distance yourself from your addictions, and transform your life into
something exciting and worthy. Karen believes we all have the power to make the
change we want, and deserve to write our own Super Sexy Sobriety stories
