taste - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

bahookie · 12-05-2005, 04:14 AM

Right, this is a bit scary.

I don't think I like the taste of coffee now that I can actually taste it!

Cravings were HUGE yesterday, but only when I sat down and did nothing but watch television, so I think there might be a lesson there. Partner is still smoking, and it's not easy, not easy at all.

I was recruiting in a shipyard today. Outside the offices is a big metal box, full of wet cigarette stubs. That helped.

I have been quit for 4 Days, 2 hours, 23 minutes and 37 seconds (4 days). I have saved £20.69 by not smoking 81 cigarettes. I have saved 6 hours and 45 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 01/12/2005 08:45

I don't sit down anymore...I can't!

By noon on Saturday my house was clean and all my laundry was done. I scrapbook digitally...so then I did 10 pages of my grandson for a bragbook for his other gramma and then did our Christmas Card, printed them, addressed them and worked on a family heritage collage that will be gift to my sister. Get the drift?

The day after Thanksgiving I began cutting waaaay back. That last pack lasted 3 days...I got all my fall stuff packed away and all the Christmas stuff out, did 75% of my shopping on line, cleaning, laundry, scrapping....and on and on.

Ward is like WTF!?

I would really cry if I had to give up chocolate, there's no question.

Oh, and can I just say that chocolate is tasting BETTER these days!

Afternoon slipping into darkness here, another day under my belt.

OMG, Bahooki:
This is EXACTLY what happened to me. LOL

I can't even stand the smell of the coffee dripping anymore. Now this is REAL crazy...I keep trying to force myself to drink a cup of coffee because I used to just love my coffee. My husband laughs and says "if you don't like the coffee why not just NOT drink it?" And then I tell him...because I LOVE my coffee!! Haha

I was just talking about this with my sisters the other day. I don't like the taste of coffe anymore either, but I am still drinking it HOPING that it will taste good again. I am considering switching to tea!!

lol i'm so relieved I'm not the only one! I am still drinking coffee at the times I would have normally, but it's just not got it. Actually, it's a bit horrible lol.

Why on earth am I clinging so tightly to somethign I obviously don't like.

My breakfast used to be 4 cigs and a cup of black coffee. What am I going to do now?

I even did the dishes, emptied the bins, brushed the kitchen floor, fed the rabbits, walked the dogs, all before half 6 this morning lol!
