You are so right on this. I felt so good yesterday after my in person meeting. It helps to get the thoughts and feelings out. I get the same from my online Zoom meetings as well.

Mainly aspartam (might be another spelling for that in English) itās well researched and considered safe of almost every research centers, EU (and Sweden) have allowed it to be used. And itās proved to not have any negative effects on people with Npf. Recommend dosage as a maximum 4 litres a day for a person of my weight (Thatāll be around 60 kg)
And as I wrote non of use drinks it every day, and I personally donāt think a glass which contains about 1,5 dl occasionally would do any harm.
Sweden have strict rules about whatās considered a safe ingredient in groceries and therefore a lot of things canāt be found here. (Like fruit loops or apple jacks for example) 
I can taste aspartame in anything. Anythingā¦

Iām actually not sure if we have to many other artificial sweeteners thatās actually used here. I remember there was a chewing gum with Xylitol when I was a kid, but I think they banned that. Might be totally different for other countries though. And I canāt help myself but have to say it, I like the diet Coca-Cola better than the other ones. Not the flavored ones, (except for the non avaliable cherry) they all taste like vitamins

I still have days where itās a struggle to accept that I canāt retreat into my addiction bubble and forget the responsibilities I have. Iāve had enough sober time to recognize that the simpler path and the joyful path is clean living. The other stuff is my selfishness and my ego thinking that I deserve some āme timeā and that Iāve got a handle on this abstinence because I can white knuckle with the best of them.
It took me a lot of relapses to discover how much weed and alcohol, even overeating is a gateway to acting out for me.
Taking this as a lesson is the best thing you can do. Youāre where youāre supposed to be. Dusting off and forgiving yourself for a stumble is exactly the right thing to do.

Thatās not fair, but as I wrote thereās a lot of things that isnāt available here. Itās a big difference just going to Denmark or Germany in whatās available or allowed or not. Most of the time it doesnāt bother me, I like a lot of our laws and restrictions (alcohol and tobacco for example) but I would like to make my own food choices and wished they could be a little more liberal about them
