Not really new food but right now i like:
Anything with sugar
Seafood
Tacos
Seafood tacos
Chocolate covered frozen bananas
And Carbs!

Not really craving the greasy foods to soak up the hangover which is good. But i think i am eating more especially in the morning from not being nauseous and also not ingesting all the empty calories. Also i have been drinking tea everyday since I quit.

Tacos are one of those perfect foods!

That looks yummy. There are so many recipes! I used to make something like that for lunch. My co-worker and I thought we invented it.

I am going to have to try both of these. Mizuna is apparently like Arugula. Yum!

Soba noodles are so easy and nutritious.

I’ve found that I can pretty much eat anything anymore, spicy, tomatoes etc. I don’t crave fried foods or fast food as much. I have developed a craving for sweets. I like hot tea more.

My new fave thing is prunes. I guess I am old lol! They are so sweet and such a good substitute for one of my old vices: gummy candies.

Your post reminded me of this beautiful song. They speak of tea like I used to feel about drink.

“I drank a glass of tea that scorched my heart first”

We need to learn to live these feelings without needing chemicals to get there. But l would still rather use hot tea than poison.

Beware that Kombucha is fermented and does contain traces of alcohol generally if you brew yourself. Shop bought ones have less probiotics but generally no alcohol or 0.001

Yes. Kombucha won’t be good for everyone here. I don’t find it triggering the way NA beer is. Some people can handle NA beer too. Not the best for me.
