Now, at nearly 3 years w out being even close to drunk, I still feel awkward at times.

I still have an active sugar addiction. I am pretty sure that it is tied to booze addiction.

Quitting booze was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Now, every day I crave sugar. Cookies, protein drink, cake, pie. It is not out of control like my booze was at least.

At least I can have a cookie or 2 and stop.

We have booze all over the house. I know that drinking it will lead to hell on earth.

I don't drink any more. I love dealing w my problems sober. Getting drunk made them go away for a short time. But, as soon as I sobered up, there they were and now I was weak and hung over.

Exercise is my new addiction. I work out nearly every day.

Thanks to sr for giving me the tools I need to get this far.

Stay clean.

Thanks.
