I Honored My Pledge Last Night

Good morning my sister and brothers. I'm grateful for this day; a new beginning. I need it.

I know which is much worse; alcohol. But it seems that Milk Duds have taken its place. I stayed up until 4 am eating them; choking myself out of a nod. If I were drinking alcohol I would have passed out long before that.

So this morning, I googled "replacing alcohol with sweets". AI said, "Replacing alcohol with excessive sweets is risky, as both activate the brain's pleasure centers and can lead to similar health issues and a cycle of addiction. While occasional sweets are fine, substituting high-sugar foods for alcohol can result in weight gain, increased risk of diabetes and heart disease, mood swings, and potentially worsen liver and brain damage. Instead, focus on healthier alternatives and lifestyle changes like regular exercise to manage cravings and promote well-being." 

I know all of this, but it's the same insanity. I've got a half box sitting on my desk eyeing me like a glass of wine. I'm calling all angels...maybe that's what I should have done last night before I started on the Milk Duds.
