Well, after 2 weeks, it's happened. I am sick of chocolate. This is probably because I bought two bars to last the weekend and I've eaten them both, but
hope this is a turning point

Can you please throw some of that being sick of chocolate my way? For me it's ice cream. What I do is buy the non fat chocolate. I know, I know, still loaded with sugar. Slowly weaning myself off of these crutches!

I second that..throw some of that my way. I am actually making a chocolate cake tonight. I need it as it helped me last weekend. I don't eat chocolate during the week at all. I do find myself wanting something sweet during the week, but it usually isn't chocolate related and it is manageable. But, the weekends I lose control!

Does it get any better? I see you have been sober a lot longer than me and this obsession with sweets and chocolate on the weekends are beginning to concern me.

Over 10years sober and I eat loads of chocolate,I don't let it bother me.

After I quit drinking I was eating sweets, ice cream, chocolate, drinking Sierra mist as my new drink of choice. Then my Dr tells me I am borderline diabetic. Argh. Now my drink of choice is coffee with stevia and cream. And chocolate. So I gave up booze and now I'm a carb addict. What's a girl to do.

Ginger that is my fear. I quit drinking to become healthier and now I am jeopardy of becoming a diabetic? I never ate this many sweet before. I have eaten more sweet in about 3 weeks than I have in over 8 years.

I have found that eating raw honey kills the craving for chocolate.

Our wellness is often hidden at the end of the cable to us. I'm not proud of the daily reward system for staying "sober", it shows at my waistline as I chose a pint of B&J daily for maintenance. I never claimed to be recovered emotionally or mentality wise. Yes it did catch up to me one day in the ER and needed a stent to continue without B&Js. BE WELL

I had to quit drinking when I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and spent four days hooked up to an iv with No food or water. That was fourteen months ago. I would love a beer.

But every day sober is a good thing.

I seem to have reverted back to savory things - have had Chinese curry twice today.
I'm just 'going with the flow' at the moment - has to be better than booze

Chocolate comes from cocoa which comes from a tree.
That makes it a plant, therefore, chocolate counts as a salad.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

LOL! Ladyblue.... I am LOVING your reasoning
