Just because you’re free from your addiction doesn’t mean it’s out of your life! You might run into the temptation over and over, so how do you handle that?

We'll take sugar addiction, for example. That's a very common one. Most of us on the Code Red lifestyle are recovering sugar addicts. It's so hard because recovering drug addicts don't keep drugs in their pantry, but as for recovering sugar addicts, the sugar's everywhere. 

So you might have kicked your sugar habit, but that doesn't mean that it's completely out of your life. It's not out of your life. It might be out of your pantry, your desk drawer at work, your glove box, your little hidden compartments. I have a relative that hide sugar all over the house.

When you're getting rid of all that, you're rooting it out of your life, but it, unfortunately, is still in the world and it's still around us. So you've got to find a way to deal with the fact that you're still going to be bombarded by it.

We put safeguards in place on the Code Red lifestyle to make sure you do not go back to your old ways and you're able to stay on the straight and narrow. 

Our top three rules in Code Red - The first one is you always drink your water every day, the amount that you need. You always get on that scale every morning. And the third rule is you never, never, never say it with me. You never, never, never allow sugar to stay in your house. 

And we put these safeguards in place to protect you, to protect you from you. Because willpower ain't enough. 

Stay tuned to know more.
