Before, when I smoked, if I got hungry or had a craving- I would smoke a cigarette and the urge to eat a damn thing went away temporarily. However, now that I don't smoke, it's so hard not to have a bite of Des' dinner. When I'm counting calories, I try to plan and prepare my own meals; this means my kid gets some pre-packaged or easy to make dinners, like mac-n-cheese or frozen waffles, sausage, and maple syrup. Tonight- I did my usual- adding two more drinks than planned BUT also had 5 small spoons full of Kraft mac-n-cheese. So many calories. SO many wasted calories. Can I stop this terrible routine? habit? The drink is too hard to give up right now. I'm still really struggling with tobacco. I can't handle giving up both. I'm just not strong enough yet. I know I will be one day. But just not now. Maybe not this year. Maybe not ever.

Keep trying! Like you, I used cigs as a food substitute and never hit 110 pounds, except when pregnant. When I quit smoking, I HAD to quit drinking, because in my mind, they went together (habits!!) BEST decision I ever made. The first few weeks were difficult because I was changing old habits, but you can do it!

I can relate, too. Just keep in mind that alcohol lowers inhibitions, and therefore will power. I keep a strict limit on my nightly cocktail..but I do have a nightly cocktail!

I can't relate but one of my good friends was a drug addict and an alcoholic, she's been sober for 4 years now so if she can overcome it, i believe you can too! :)
