Yeah so, there it was after my alcohol addiction there was another around the corner peering its little beady eyes at me but, it is what got me past my alcohol addiction.
It was unavoidable in a sense. It just could not be stopped! It was the one arch enemy when I was drinking my breakfast, lunch and dinner and that was the dreaded SUGAR!
After My Alcohol Addiction
Well, I should say “after my transition” of going from an absolute drunk for most of the time to someone trying their best to start on the path of alcohol recovery.
Well, after all the DT’s and general feeling of your guts eating themselves things started happening in my body and that was hunger.
A hunger that I can not put into words other than I had a craving for anything sweet!
I started my crazy diet of milk and cookies. Chips a Hoy cookies and whole Vit. D milk. I was my go to when I got that craving for the alcohol.
You see, when I was drinking, the one thing that I just could not put into my body was milk. It would have curdled when it hit my stomach!
So now, I finally get to drink that milk that my body was craving for for so many years.
And my whole thoughts on all of this was that, if you drink almost a half gallon of whole milk and a whole package of Chips a Hoy chocolate chip cookies then the last thing you would have ever to think of doing to yourself is to try and swig that beer down afterwards… You would be sicker than sicker.
So this is what was happening after my alcohol addiction you see… I was able to eat again!
There Was Another Addiction Around The Corner
Yes, so there it was once I went around that corner after going the route of the cookies and milk… Sweet Everything!
I started to work again after taking some time off to heal myself and get past that hump to get back to normal once again and so, there I was, needing something different to be able to work with.
This is when I found green tea and a candy bar that to this day I still munch on when at work and that would be a Reese’s Crispy Crunchy chocolate bar, king size at that!
But I also started to dabble with the caffeine. It was not coffee though, it was the good ole 5 hour energy shot and for almost 2 years later I was taking those things to the point of almost getting addicted to those damn things as well.
That caffeine rush you get is much better that the wobble down not in control of yourself drunk you would have had.
So there it was, I had to stop with those drinks as when you do a little research about the dangers of over doing those things you will find out that they are not good for ones heart.
Not, I am not going to sit here and tell you that that was it with the caffeine because it wasn’t as I went to the Red Bull drinks and most other energy drinks to get that rush.
I weened myself off greatly of those things lately I am happy to announce but I am still stuck with the Mt. Dew lately and even trying to rid those but hooked none the less I am.
After My Alcohol Addiction There Was Another Around The Corner
I was and still am hooked on my cookies and anytime milk is there but other than those I have this ice cream love that might send me to the poor house if I don’t start learning how to make this stuff myself.
This would be a love for me… Be able to make ice cream and cheese. I could live on both of those forever!
So yeah, there I was stuck again with another addiction and that would be ice cream and any type of cake out there in the world of cakes and I do actually make some brownies to ward off that craving of buying a wedding cake and sitting down with a big spoon, a gallon of milk and a gallon of ice cream as well!
Now, I do love them but one thing, I know it would kill me if I eat too much, right?
So there you go, a little into my path I had after my alcohol addiction there was another around the corner.
