SURVEY: What is your new clean/sober ADDICTION?

HIYA SR Homies,

This is my 3rd and final shot at a Survey Question, the 3rd time is the charm right?

What I want to know is..........

What is your new clean/sober addiction? We do trade on addiction for another yah? Do you like shopping? caffeine? What are you addicted to now that you are clean/sober (or getting there)?

MINE: CAFFEINE, CAFFEINE, AND MORE CAFFEINE

Monsters, Red Bulls and Rockstars, OH MY!

HOT TEA. *siiiip*
And charms blow pops. I even eat the grape ones (I don't like grape flavored candy).
Also, I was eating 6-9 hard boiled eggs a day for a while...but luckily that's been dying down!

WATER!! I take it w/ me everywhere! Now instead of stashing empty bottles of liquor around the house, its water I stash. In the fridge, under the pantry, and in my trunk.
And I love what its doing for my body!!

I often wondered why my persperation smelled a little funky when I would exercise on my non-drinking days. Why it took so much effort to make sure I didn't smell funky when exercising w/ friends or fam, but now I know why. It was all the liquor. Even if I hadn't drank in 4 days, it was still in my system.
Now, that problem is gone!
I'm also losing weight and I can even see a difference in my skin and my hair. =)
Definitely my new addiction!

I have 2: Sleep (I never got quality sleep when I was drinking) and fatty foods. Instead of dieting like I did on my last two attempts at sobriety I told myself eat as much as Garfield as long as you don't drink.

Candy!!! Never cared for sweets when I was drinking. Can't walk by a vending machine at work without partaking. I've leaving all my money at home, which makes it easier. BUT seems everyone has brownies & Chocolate & cake & pie......
