name what you loaded up on the first week of sobrity
 

i am load up on soda like no other. i drank a case of dr, pepper to day. what did you load up on?

Lots of; pitcher size tea bags (regular & decaf + sugar), Sunflower seeds, granola and fruit bars... also sodas. :)

i can't usually eat the first few days, but if i do it's bites of banana or toast with ginger ale....oh, and popsicles. i can't do caffeine the first week. i guess it depends how bad withdrawal is.

Orange juice! It gives me my sugar fix and I figure that's healthier than chocolate or cheesecake. lol

Gatorade and facial moisturizer. god i hate the dried cracked painful skin cuts at the corners of my nose, only got it when stopping drinking. Only time i ever used moistuizer.

Gatorade. I couldn't eat for 4 days.

Food. Lots of food.

During past withdrawal stints I'd drink a TON of pop. This time 'round, I'm actually trying not to load up on as much sugar, so I've been drinking a lot of tea.

But yeah. I'm generally much more interested in food when I'm not drinking. :herewego

COOKIES!!!!! That or chocolate or anything sweet. Now I'm finally getting over the extreme need for sugar

AA meetings.

Coffee. I've always enjoyed it in the mornings, but now I drink it non stop all day and night. I chug lots of water, but coffee gives me the replacement glass in my hand that I sip throughout the day. I know coffee is an addiction in itself, but far better than alcohol. Once I get through this fight, maybe I'll take on the caffeine monster next! ;)

Vitamins and herbal tea.

Music and movies, coffee

Coca cola, lemonade, juice, milk, water, coffee, tea and hot chocolate lol

I drank a lot of water and tried to eat healthy. I'm grateful for this thread though, makes me think of how horrific that first week was and how I don't ever want to feel like that again!!

Had a giant size bag of peanut M&Ms allthe time! I still drink alot of diet coke but try to get a lot of water in everyday.

Thai food. Green curry, and chicken panang. I'm beyond addicted to both.

Cases of sparkling water, Egg drop and Wonton soup takeout from the local Chinese restaurant (Can't eat solid food for a couple days), Chamolile tea, 2 lorazapams (perscribed from the doc) a day the first 3-4 days.

Diet Coke

Couldn't get enough sweets - lollipops, candy bars - and I normally don't even eat sweets. :) The obsession faded after awhile.
