One great thing about the restricted diet and my limited jaw movement is that it's forcing me to slow down and enjoy food again.
I'm a fast eater. For some reason, when I got sober nearly three years ago, I noticed I became ravenous for food and nutrition. My chewing kind of went into overdrive, and many times I find myself half chewing and just kind of swallowing things down barely chewed. I'm wondering if anyone can relate?
Maybe it's that tendency toward compulsion addicts seem to develop.
Drinking soup slowly is becoming a meditative task for me now.
