To the Chocoholics out there.
My name is Forrest and I'm addicted to chocolates.lol (from Forrest Gump)
Talk about switching addictions. I am an alkie/addict in recovery. But my addiction manifests itself in many other ways.
The first couple months in recovery I would drive all over town and stock up on Chex Chocolate Turtle mix.
All I ate for 3 months was Chex mix daily.
I got over that and then I became addicted to AA Online meetings. I was in chat for hours and hours a day. I began chairing meetings online.
Then I got addicted to service work in AA and NA and volunteered for every service position I could.
Then I got addicted to emailing new people online with encouraging texts.
Then I got addicted to watching you tube videos.
Then I got addicted to watching documentaries on Jesus Christ.
Then I got addicted to red velvet cake and ate it only for a whole week.
Then I got addicted to string cheese.
Then I got addicted to baking cookies and baked everyday for a week.
Now I am addicted to sober recovery forum. lol
I just can't win, but I can't get arrested for driving under the influence of red velvet cake, or for watching to many documentaries on Christ.
I am an addict to the core which proves that drinking/drugging was just a symptom of my illness.
I know I am so sick.
Still working hard on my recovery.
