Ha! Great post! Yes, I am doing the same thing now with the sweets, especially chocolate. I was never, ever a sweets person before I quit drinking and now I can't stop thinking about them. It took a toll those first two months of sobriety, however, and I gained weight instead of losing it. So I have also decided to restrict the chocolate and other sweets to a very minimum. And I also find myself thinking about it non-stop. Damn, obsessive, alkie brain, I suppose. But, you're right, I am thinking about chocolate now and not wine. Not sure if this is progress or just side-stepping but at least I know that if I sneak a bar of chocolate and go for a drive the only victim will be my waistline.

(Damn you with that last line, though...that sounds SO GOOD and now I want it, want it, want it...)

Anyway, great post, thanks!!
