So is anyone else out there treating themselves to special meals and frozen yogurt?!?!? LOL! FroYo has been my saving grace these past few days. When I have a craving to pick up some wine I head to the local FroYo shop and pile on all the goodies! I have also "allowed" myself to cheat on my diet to have french fries or whatever my heart desires at the moment. I figured as long as it's not wine, why not?!?!? Whatever works!!

I try to eat healthy during the week, but I allow myself to indulge on pizza, burgers, etc on the weekends as a reward for not drinking. Once I'm used to not drinking I'll cut it down to one day of poor eating though.

I'm re-posting from a different thread from earlier today.
TI have heard many people have sweet cravings when they quit. Not me...until yesterday.
Not unlike Linda Blair in the movie, The Exorcist, I spoke the following words to my boyfriend. "I want CAKE...or PIE...maybe CAKE and PIE!" My boyfriend loves sweets and hopped right on board. We were leaving the store with 2 cakes and a chocolate cream pie when we spotted the girl scouts sitting at a table full of cookies.
I picked up a box of Thin Mints and began reading the ingredients. My boyfriend whispered under his breath, "Don't do it!". So, I resisted the urge to ask if they were made with real girl scouts. And we went home with 4 boxes of cookies as well.
I think eating healthy makes me feel better in general but an occasional eating binge is a heck of a lot better than a drinking binge!!!
I look forward to hanging out with all of you for a long time.

Congratulations everyone!
I'll throw myself into the mix here - on day 20 and feeling great overall. I'm eating much better, staying hydrated, and taking vitamins again. The sugar cravings have been hitting me at night, but I bought a bunch of fruit which turns out to be healthier than eating an entire cake (what I would REALLY like to do).
SR has been so helpful for me these past few weeks. This is the longest I've been sober in over 4 years, and one of the most encouraging parts is that every morning I wake up grateful that I didn't drink the night before. Waking up hangover-free never gets old! Finally MorningAbby and NightAbby are working as a team again.
