Well good luck with that one.. ( smile ).. If that worked I guess we would not need this forum, we would not need AA or anything else to help us out.. Just simply eat the right foods...
You have been sober to long to be having physical withdrawals of any real substance..
I am an alcoholic.. I had not only a mental obsession but a physical addiction to alcohol.. The last few years of my drinking was not just wanting it but I needed it.. Long after the physical addiction was gone the mental obsession continued. It told me over and other I NEEDED to drink.
I can only share my own experience here - I went through detox and then treatment. Some have a harder time than others with a variety of withdrawals.. Sometimes we need medical help. Other times we just need help from others like ourselves to tell us and show us how they did it.. For me that was AA. I had to take action.
I hope you find whatever it is that will work for you.
