    What's Changed?

    Hi All,

    Just some ramblings that I wanted to put down.

    I've been hanging around here for over a year and only ever making a few days here and there without AL - and struggled with that.

    Now, though, I fell like something has clicked in my brain. I REALLY don't want to drink. I just seem to cruise into the evenings drinking Coke Zero or water without that huge "I need wine" feeling.

    I went out for dinner at the weekend and had sparkling water - I just knew the world wasn't going to end if I didn't drink wine.

    What has co-incided with this is a high protein / low carb diet, so I wonder if getting rid of the carbs has helped.

    Already, I feel healthier and more positive.

    that IS interesting cw as i'm hoping for the same thing based on some info that Choochie posted re "radiant recovery" & some books referring to the sugar addiction syndrome.
    i've bought these books & simply substitute "alcohol" for "sugar" in all contexts. everything seems pretty relevant in these books & whilst it may not be THE thing, i find it explains many things quite well & a lot of "reasons" have fallen into place.
    i'm hoping for a Febfast success - a thing here in Oz & NZ where we pause our drinking for Feb to raise money ...... today is the first day!

      Good for you, CW! I know that something just "clicked" into place for me, too.
      I just knew I was ready to be finished with it. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

        Awesome CW. Isn't it the craziest feeling? It took a while for me to process that I wasn't even thinking about the booze anymore. I was kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop until I realized there was no other shoe!

        When everything seems like an uphill struggle, just think of the view from the top!!

          Hey CW

          An addictions counsellor once told me that having a protein snack is very effective at averting cravings for alcohol. Perhaps you have been inadvertently doing this by changing to a high protein diet? Regardless, if it;s working for you, that's awesome.

          I wish you continued success. I am on day 33 AF and something feels different for me too this time> Not sure what. It was just time....
