Beats booze any day. I do not drive dangerously if I eat chocolate. I am not a nasty, horrible person if I have cake and I do not worry about where the cookie wrappers are the following morning.
STILL-attempting moderation in all things is the watch word for me....
It DOES beat booze any day!!! Such an important thing to remember. Alcohol is such an immediate danger for real drunks, it can kill pretty fast: us and others not to mention the enormous toll it takes on others.
It was a learning process for me to accept some weight gain. In fact I consider it a true sign of my sobriety that I was truly putting it first, knowing how plagued with body image I have always been. It was a huge step to just let the chips fall.
Now that my sobriety is on surer footing and I am having consequences from weight gain it is time and I feel more ready for this. When you can't walk, it gets real and you know it's time for a change but I forgive myself for everything I had to do to get sober.
