I am reading a book right now about an alcoholic cop. He and a doctor who have been an alcoholic too is discussing all the problems the cop will meet when he is trying to stop drinking. And the scary thing is that I can relate to it! Not with drinking (I hardly drink at all. The last 6 months I have been drinking 2 or 3 times) but with candy! Chocolate to be more precisely! I have all the same excuses as he has... "I deserve it!" "Just a little bit wouldn't hurt" "I can stop eating candy when ever I can!".
It's a bit of a shock to find out that I am just like other addicts.... When an alcoholic need to stay of the booze for the rest of his life - how the hell am I gonna stay of sugar? Every time I can declare that I have finally have defeated my chocolate habit - after a while I take just a little piece and soon I eat it every day. Well - I have to admit it is not a shock because I have known that I have difficulty around sugar for a long time, but what hit me is that when this cop have a friend who has beaten the habit to help him through the though times, I have nobody. Of course I can call a friend - but most friends I know have the same habit as I do... To hear them say that I should think about what I do doesn't work since they probably eat as much candy as I do. :)
O'boy its though to defeat this habit! Not that I necessarily want to live my life without sugar, but my health would DEFINITIVELY gain on it. And to eat this much candy is not good for my veins and heart...
Maybe there is a AC-meeting somewhere? ;)

Det hadde vært så deilig å vært en person som ikke liker godteri og sukker til vanlig. Lurer på hvordan det egentlig føles. Jeg klarer å holde meg unna sjokoladen i ukedagene, men desto mer fylles på i helgene. Kanskje vi skulle prøvd oss på en sjokoladefri måned? Kun sjokolade og smågodt kanskje....potetgull kan være lov. Eller...?
SvarSlettDu skriver så levende og godt!! Det er rett og slett gøy å lese det du skriver. Gode poeng, treffer midt i blinken....for de aller fleste av oss. ;-)
SvarSlettForresten enig med Lise her, det er enkelt å være flink på ukedagene, også fyller jeg opp i helgene. Men så føler man liksom at man fortjener å kose seg litt også da. Hva er vitsen ellers liksom.
Jeg spiser ikke potetgull, sjeldent smågodt, men en sjokolade går nok ned ja. Selv om jeg egentlig ikke tåler melkesjokolade. :-/
Det er jammen ikke lett å få det akkurat som man vil! :-/
Gleder meg til å lese ditt neste innlegg!! :-D
