newbie who's cooking her way to sobriety!

Hi all!

Great site. I'm on day no. 2. Doesn't sound like much but we all have to start somewhere. I've tried so many times to quit, but for some reason I feel it this time. I love to cook and I've decided that becoming a chef is more important than drinking. Usually by this time of nite I'd be trashed, but not tonite. Instead I cooked Mexican. Homemade flour tortillas, black beans and rice, grilled chicken, pico... anyway, it was so good. For dessert I made pate a choux pastry with Bavarian cream. I'm allowing myself two of those. I've learned that every time I try to quit I'll crave sugar. To a point I can make myself sick. I'm focusing on creating new recipes and cooking something amazing every day. The worst thing for me are the night sweats. Terrible, but doable. So, wish me luck, and good luck and hugs to all of you who are climbing this ladder!
