I am joooooonesing, and this too shall pass.
Good night.
Thats so amazing.
post booze sugar has been my crutch too. Chocolate in particular. But ice cream, honey, anything super sweet. I beat it occasionally but keep drifting back into it. It’s definitely an addiction replacement and the compulsion feels just like booze. A really flooding temptation. So I understand totally how everyone feels.
I don’t know how to fight this sugar demon anymore so now I’m gonna try to close it into the time frame.
20 days no extra added sugar challenge.
Starts today.
Maybe this would work.
Feel free to join me
Last night we ran some errands and got dinner at my favorite sandwich shop. I used to get an orange vanilla hi-c (my favorite!!) with my sub. We’ve had it twice this month and both times it was offered for me to get that drink while ordering and I said no so I’m still going.
Last night I played the tape through as I was asked if I wanted it. I pictured me drinking it, getting a headache, getting super bloated and having the craving kick in with more sugar to follow. This is what happens and is truly my reality with sugar. So I said no and stuck to it. So much like alcohol for me, it’s crazy!
I was just scrolling from the top looking at all of our histories in this thread.
I went from this.
To this.
To barely being able to string a week together. Addiction is a progressive disease no matter what substance we are using. Hold onto your clean time when you get it, dont let your head convince you that its just sugar, that youll be able to stop after one. If youre like me its bullshit, sugar is my new DOC.
Oh and checking in…
Pastries are overrated. Stick with it.
Pastries suck!!
Don’t let me and Benson catch up to you.
Wifey has fudge tracks ice cream in the freezer. I don’t go near it.

I use an app to track my days and help me with reminding myself:
@Its_me_Stella Congrats on 30 days. I’ve seen how you have struggled and fought. This is really impressive!
@Mischa84 You are 100% right. I couldn’t imagine being responsible for the death of a panda bear. Better not risk it
@Runningfree Great job on winning against pastries.
