I have an addiction to coca cola... seriously

I have so many cross addictions its not even funny. Some of my addictions like the meth and the pain meds I ceased for the obvious reasons like they could kill me others like my dew and smokes I continue to feed for the obvious reasons like if I stop them I will kill someone else. Yeah I get it. Not sure if its because we are BP or not I just figured I had the addict gene - both my parents were alchoholics but my mom was also a beeper so guess that makes sense

Try substituting fruit for the candy and wean off slowly. I have cut way back on sugar and sometimes I get the sugarless candy and I like that, but research has shown that the brain knows the difference between artificial sweetener and sugar and eating the artificial won't cut back on the desire for sugar. Which goes to show that we have smart brains!

I have been going off on my sugar addiction group. I did buy some mixed frozrn berries, almonds, honey, carrots, celery , avacados.

I start running around with my head cut off saying I need sugar! and I want something ! And in my head I hear those natural sweets are not going to be the same. Then I start eating them and they take the edge off. I can't believve it is so hard. My husband has been clean from smoking for 5 days. i haven't been able to stop for a full day. I take that back i haven't had any refined sugar products today.

I use to drink a six pack of cola a day my fav is coc cola till this day.

I have been gradually getting off sweets. I am at the point of not buying any candy cookies, ice cream, etc because i can eat all of it in 2 days or less.

I'm addicted to chocolate and diet coke what a combo. Use to smoke but got asthma and if i want to breathe can't smoke, Now doesn't that suck!

For got about the clonopin.

i'm addicted to nicorette gum and I mean I go overload on it like no normal person would it's either that or cigarettes so yes.

Chocolate. If I don't get my "fix" each day I get extremely CRABBY. I mean CRABBY. Did I say I get CRABBY?

I have a Coke addiction. If we have it in the house I chug it. I am also an alcoholic so I have to stay away from booze. Alcohol turns to sugar so maybe there is a link in your cravings?

I crave sweets when I'm depressed, that's one of the first signs that I'm not doing well. it goes away as soon as I start to feel better.

when im having and episode, depressed or manic dosent matter, i crave sweets and carbs i buy icecream by the gallon and eat away...its like i have no control and by that point i dont care anyway.

Dobie ,

I am so crabby and bitter. I don't get how people don't have to have or have once in a blue moon.
And anyone who has this sweet craving or addiction, There are no studies on withdrawel symptoms, their are no length of withdrawel studies to show what the heck to do. Oh yeah, eat fruit. Well I keep doing that, and it seems the more I try the more I crave. AAAGGGGHHHH!

i have hypoglycemia, it causes me to crave sweets at times, and the ups and downs of my blood sugar causes my moods to shift too, even with meds i can tell but its not as bad...so it could be a health issue.

On the health issue. I am sure you are right. Eating junk food for the last 40 years couldn't have helped. I just want to know if I am treating it accordingly(healthy foods and a very good herbal treatment that has already started helping my regular UTI's).
Patience is not my virtue and I cried and whined to my husband. He said if I go get you candy, then I will buy cigarettes. And then he said is that what you want and I said no. So even though it is blackmail, it woke me up. It is not only me who is having a rough time. Actually he is doing way better than me.

Oye Vey. I have to pray and meditate on this terrible craving. This addiction is like any other. You ry and try again until you knock it dead.

I dont eat sweets very much

I work out too much it bothers me to eat unhealthy for too long
